#i also never got the hpv one bc....idk why exactly. my mom didnt want me to get it

[ktae]

this friday i have another needle appointment and yash is gonna drive me bc my doctor wants me to take xanax for it. even though last time i didnt have a panic attack. but anyway this week im going to do the thing i've been doing where i just insert a needle into my own abdomen and then pull it out. but i also requested that we have a booster shot of something i'm due for (having a needle phobia, i'm overdue for several vaccinations and boosters!) and depending on how i'm feeling we might go ahead and do that!! i hope i feel okay enough with the self-stabbing part to get an actual real shot!! it would be a huge step and it would help boost my confidence for my covid shots and it would also help me get up-to-date on all my shots!!!

#i think the one we have on deck for friday is a tdap booster #also need a pneumonia one bc i have asthma #i also never got the hpv one bc....idk why exactly. my mom didnt want me to get it #either she was starting to become antivax or she thought it would lead to be having sex too early. both terrible reasons 🙄 #either way i would like to be up-to-date on my vaccines and also not get a preventable virus that could give me fucking cancer 😬 #needle phobia journey
