very exciting news!! I have my got my first vile of T today! I'm really really excited. Bad news is that I tried to give the shot to myself and ended up sending myself in to mild shock.

you need to relax and don't think about the needle.

what gauge needles are you using? i would recommend a 25. it may take a hella long time to draw the serum, but when i used 25s i could hardly feel it.

where are you injecting? your ass? inject in the lower quadrants of your ass cheeks, and alternate cheeks.

the hardest part is getting through the skin. once you are through the skin, you can just push it into your fat and muscle and that usually doesn't hurt, just feels weird. if it still hurts it means you are hitting blood vessels, and you need to stop, pull it out and put it in somewhere else.

just tell yourself over and over, "this is easy and doesn't hurt." it's just a tiny little needle. imagine the end result, how you are giving your body something that will make your outside express your inside more, something to help it do this. imagine your anxiety melting away with this knowledge.

hope this helps. you can always ask me any questions if you need to.

thanks duder! I actually got my shot and it hardly hurt at all. I did it in my butt. I forgot the gauge of the needle. I just thought about waves breaking on the beach and that worked fucking excellent.
