So how did you psych up for your first injection?

[buffboff]

I used an ice pack the first time. I just held it there for about 5 minutes until it felt numb. Then, I still had to talk myself into it. Once I had jabbed it in, I had to double check it: I didn't feel anything, so I though maybe I had f'ed it up. But there it was, all the way in. I was laughing at myself before I had finished the injection. Don't think about it... just do it.

i shook like a leaf and couldn't sleep all night afterwards.

I just said fuck it, if all these other people can do it, so can I. I just sat down, sanitized everything, tried to stay as calm as possible, put the needle up against my skin, took a few deep breaths, and stuck it in, aspirated, saw the bubble, injected, pulled the needle out and laughed at how nervous I was cause it was so friggin easy.

I have a needle phobia. Or at least I did. My first injection was an ordeal for me. I was shaking like a dog shitting bones and I was just drawing up out of the ampule. I nearly hyperventilated and I had to steady my hand I was shaking so bad. The needle was clanking off the sides of the amp. After the injection I felt like a fool though. Didn't feel a thing and the rest is history...

play some music while you are doing it to calm you down and stay calm because there is nothing to it. i had a phobia of needles but it is gone now. the hard part is coming off a cycle. once you start, you don't want to come off.

dont use the same needle you drew with to inject with,my first time hurt like a bitch.when i pulled out and looked at the tip of the needle it was bent a little from hitting the bottom of the amp

Didn't feel comfortable that I could do glute shots correctly, so I started out with delt shots. Works great w/no soreness using a 23/1. The first time was definately a rush. Thanks to the guy with the Big Johnson for injection link on his page.

Hey bro, I too wondered if I could actually inject myself. What helped me was being very prepared and going over all the steps very carefully beforehand.

I have only taken a few shots so far and well, I'd like to say all went perfectly... but the fact is that while things went pretty well during the injection, there have been a lot of minor issues here and there, and you kind of have to learn what works for you. Like - will someone try to walk in on you while you are getting everything ready?? or will your parents show up for dinner an hour early when you have a needle halfway in your ass?

But wait, that's not all! I have also lost one amp so far. The top of this one opened clean, but either I was squeezing really hard or I got a defective amp, because when I put the needle in to draw up the oil the whole bottom of the amp just dropped out, and bye bye to that whole amp of sus! So I cracked another one.

Bottom line is if you are very prepared and know exactly what you are going to do, it goes great the first time, and you don't even feel it going in.

JUST do it be a man.

oh yeah aspirate and use sterile technique, and if you chicken out you never get huge or ripped, but don't worry about that.

Seriously it is no big deal. Just do it and do it right.

My mother gave me my first couple of shots. Of course I told her it was B12.

I was in the middle of the cycle ready for my next shot and... my mother wasn't there. I had the choice: stick the needle in or wait several hours. I couldn't wait so I decided to get over it.

First I got a lil bit nervous and sweated but ten minutes after I told to myself "what the fuck! you can't always depend on another person" and stuck the needle in. It was easier then I thought, in fact I inject myself better then my mother did.
