I am so scared to start - and of the needles!

I have fallen in love hearing about what tirzeparide/mounjaro has done for people, what it is capable of. As a pre-diabetic 41 year old with PCOS, uterine fibroids, estrogen dominance, etc, it makes sense to take. But I have had adverse reactions to so many medications in the past - and I'm so scared to stick a needle in myself! Which doesn't make sense because I had a painful 25 and a half hour painful labor - and recently passed a kidney stone that hurt more than that lol. Logically I shouldn't be scared of any pain - or any needle.

I don't have a support group because my parents are dead, my two best friends of 20+ years have passed away. It's just myself and my 12 year old daughter - which is a great motivator to take the medication, to get myself to a healthier place in life.

If it makes me feel like crap I just have to deal with it and still work and take care of my daughter and deal with my other health issues.

I just wanted to vent and maybe see if anyone else was scared of starting the medication and ended up having a great, inspiring story to share.

tl;dr: I'm a big weenie baby and I don't like new medications or needles.

Edit: Thank you SO much for your kind words and support! It honestly did help me set some of my fears aside. First injection down and you guys were right, I think the needle just seems worse if you're not used to it. Also, thank you to those who let me know about the shortage issues and the compound pharmacy stuff. I hope we all can figure out how to afford it moving forward.
