Oh nooo... I wish you everything you need at the moment and some more!!! <3
Here's a "funny" story to hopefully give you a smile. It is OKAY to laugh! xD
I don't hate needles. I just have a ridiculously low threshold for pain is all. And imagining a foreign substance coursing through my body. And being drained of blood. Makes me lose all my strength. Anyway, did my first rona shot without even the slightest problem. I got this, I said to myself. Then came the second round. I got the shot, moved on to the waiting area where you wait for 15 minutes together with 100 other people under supervision. I'm telling myself, in my head, "this is just like last time, this is nothing, my power level is over 9000, whatev...." aaand I fainted. I wake up in the arms of a BEAUTIFUL nurse, this part I'm not complaining about. But realizing what had happened, I blush and I am SO ashamed. Like, 100 people were watching. xD Fuuuuuuuuuuuccc.
Get better soon!
That did give me a smile i appreciate you
Im so lucky to not have a huge thing with needles, considering the chosen method for HRT lol
