Think I may have botched my injection
As per the title - I think I may have screwed up my jab today 😭
I went to inject myself in my abdomen as I always do. I still have a good amount of fat and a lot of loose skin, so usually I kind of pinch a bit before injecting, just to give the needle something firmer to inject into. For some reason (no idea what I was thinking) I didn’t do that today and just kind of jabbed straight into my stomach. Because it didn't come up against any resistance, the pen kind of pushed my belly so it folded in a bit (apologies for the description but I’m sure many of you get what I mean)! I injected as usual but when I went to remove the pen I realised the needle had barely broken the surface and the pen wasn’t anywhere near flush with my skin. The liquid seems to have all gone in (there was a little residue on the skin but that’s normal for me), but I’m worried it hasn’t gone deep enough and it won’t be effective this week.
I’ve been doing this for almost two years and I’m so annoyed with myself! It would bloody happen after I’ve had a few of weeks of slacking and gained 4lbs too - I was really determined to get back on track this week 🤦♀️
Has anyone done something similar? How did you find the effectiveness that week? I would love some reassurance (I’m autistic and a huge overthinker) but even an honest ”yeah you screwed up” would kind of help. I’m just spiralling a bit at the moment.
