Coconut "texture" is really weird. I don't hate it, and I appreciate the novelty, but I do find it a bit gross. I'm mostly picturing candies with coconut (oversweet!) but I am somewhat repulsed by coconut milk in a similar way, so I guess I don't care for the flavor.
CW: needles
How can I be so far up my own navel and yet have arbitrary mental blocks?
Considering how grisly and flesh-sculpted many of my dreams have been, how DARE I be unable to do this?
I can prick myself just fine, and I don't mind the blood at all, but I'm supposed to put this in my (very thick, very precious) leg muscle and SOMETHING about that just makes me stop. I hate this. I should be master of my flesh by now, but I can't do it.
I hesitate to call it a phobia because I don't faint or whatever, and I've gotten used to being *given* injections by executing a tactical brain-reboot which lets me relax and let it happen. But I can't actively do this. All I can do is pierce my skin and pull back. I think I hate the thought of damaging one of the few things I'm truly and purely proud of, my leg muscles.
Whatever, I'm just going to get some subcutaneous needles that aren't so hideously long and thick, and that'll work fine. It just sucks to be confronted with a limitation like this. But that macho BS is just that... BS.
Edit: Purely practically: I am literally unable to untense the muscle in question (without the brain reboot). Particularly in this scenario though also in general... anyway, accepting that, I need to go subq instead of tearing my muscle up.
Edit2 (I don't care I'm having experiencing a mental health thing and woke up at 4:30AM to write down wild dreams for an hour (not here, also they were mostly nice)): Obviously I can use the needles I have for subcutaneous injection. That's what I'm steeling myself to do. They're too thick, and I'm going to get proper comfortable ones like my 3/4 of my family members use to inject their insulin, but I can't waste the medication I already drew. I'd rather not (and putting it back in the vial feels like a potentially bad idea).
