I understand and have been there myself. It was cured by virtue of IV training as an EMT, and through self practice. I taught emergency care and trained others how to administer shallow IM and SubQ injections, and took every training opportunity to also practice on myself since I had a bee sting allergy and wanted to be confident and ready to draw and self administer epinepherine if needed. I was lucky to have that practice prior to having to start TRT injections.
I'll still believe in using the smallest needles appropriate for the task whether for myself or in former days for my patients in the ambulance.
