Distract yourself with a sweet, music, or ice the area a little beforehand if you don’t have numbing creams.

I pretend that I’m in cyberpunk and I’m taking immunosuppressants. (But you can substitute this with any movie or video game btw)

Something I do sometimes is eat something sweet to distract myself a bit sensory wise. It makes it easier to get myself to do it. There’s also shot blockers that would probably be great for you honestly cause they’re trying to solve a similar problem. Auto injectors potentially as well but those are more expensive. Or there’s like a spider kinda thing similar to the shot blockers that also could be good.

if you do it fast like a flick of the wrist you don’t feel it going through, i also find it makes it hurt less
