Panic Attack Pre / Post Injecting

[General-K]

Hi guys not been on for some time used to do my fair share of AAS but stopped using for about 4 years due to serious studying and getting married ect . . .

Anyways basically I never stopped training I just noticed a big decline in my progress once stopping the AAS however I had more important things to concentrate on at the time so just trained natural and kept to a pretty clean diet over the 4 years but always promised myself I would juice again

So last week I started a new test only cycle running Sustanon at 500mg per week planning on a 12 week cycle which will follow full pct before running a stack nearer the summer months

Just wanted to know if anyone gets panic attacks after they inject?
I had one last week after my first shot and another today after my second (2cc alternate glutes weekly) I am a little paranoid and I do have a few anxiety problems nothing major and before you ask I always aspirate act without any problems.

This will not put me off juicing just as the panic attack lasts about 30 mins or so but not so anyone would know just me feeling anxious I actually start to feel this way a little before I do the shot!

I guess im just asking if anyone else gets this feeling before and after they inject.

Responses appreciated

The important thing to keep in mind is that a panic attack is the body getting the wrong signal.

In this case it's concern (fear) that you did something that might be harmful (or are about to). The concern may be very small but once it's processed in the brain, it can become magnified. Then it ssentially "feeds" on itself and grows and grows and before you know it, you have the feeling that you're going to die. Your body shoots of cortisol and andrenaline in an attempt to protect itself and have the energy to "run away' from the danger -- which of course, doesn't exist.

But hey, keep in mind, just 60 or so generations ago our ancestors were cavemen. So these "signals" are still with us.

It happens bro. Sticking a needle in yourself is not a natural thing to do and your body responds accordingly.

Yeah basically I start to get anxiety as soon as I start thinking about "injection time" I used to be fine with it years ago maybe its just going to take some time for me to feel comfortable stabbing a needle in my ass again lol

But seriously I do get myself quite worked up about the whole thing but im sure the gains will be worth it!

Any more responses are appreciated btw

OP, I also have aniety issues. My mind is out to get me and I understand. I used to get a little anxious when pinning. However, after you do it for a while I actually look forward to my injects. Reassure yourself that nothing bad is going to happen.

I get a rush of euphoria hehe

i already have common anxiety, and yeah when i pin it freaks me out a bit even though i know nothing bad is going to happen. the longer it takes to push the oil the worse, and i usually have to lay down for a minute or two after because i get all hot and sweaty lol. oh well i'm sure this will go away with experience. i wouldn't worry too much about it

Smoke a joint first.

 

[lartinos]

I am sure it will pass bro

 

[markh7]

I sometimes get a bit anxious before I inject, I don't know why!! I think most people do. I got very hot and sweaty as im injecting. It will prob go away with more experience...

Turn on your gym music and take a shot of whiskey.

And as many of you state im sure this will go away or at least diminish as time moves on

I think Post panic attack effects can be another frustrating aspect of the attacks. Right after experiencing an attack, we still have to calm down. Not only this, but it can also take quite awhile before we return to our normal state. If handled in a reasonable manner, some of this time could be cut down.

the simplest term i can put this ,is your body is getting used to the extra hormones and is acting accordinly!

Honestly - don't do it in your ass. The whole deal with actually turning around far enough to pinch your ass in the first place gets you breathless and worked up. Do what I do - sit down, relax, and pin yourself in your quad. Believe me, it's much easier than you think and you're not stressed out by all the turning, pinching, aspirating, plunging etc etc.

Good luck dood. Deep breaths.

What???? Who told you to pinch before injecting ,you only do that around the belly area injecting sub Q.

Are you talking anxiety; like "Whoa; did I just actually DO THIS.... Should I have thought more???", or a true panic attack where you withdraw, and can't think straight or do anything 'til it passes?

I'm no expert, but I understand that panic attacks are a whole issue by themselves, which would be something you need medical attention for, whereas an anxiety thought after injecting, might be a normal thing for some bros. If it's just anxiety, it will pass off after the first few cycles. Totally normal.

nickleby - do you really pinch yourself before an IM inj?

 

[RADAR]

I always pinch myself right after an injection asking myself "did i really just do that?"

All jokes a side I do as well...I was just telling the guy I lift with today that I feel like junky but the whole process just sets me off everything from getting the pin out of the wrapper to loading it to banging the oil, it's like therapeutic or some shit..love it none the less...

You are sick sir. Just one sick puppy...


But no really its all about mindset. Unleash the animal within

the funny thing about it is I used to be horrified of needles now even when I get a shot at the doctors I get all

Everything can be used for good or bad. I would suggest that you use that reaction to fuel your workout. Wait to pin yourself right when you go to workout. Even have warmed up some. Then when you get the panic attack attack the weights. Do a couple light quick sets then HEAVY triples. Hit it hard. DO battle with the weight. Your body is telling you you need to do battle so do it. Just direct it in a way that helps you.

Maybe my looking at things this way is why they kicked me out of the gym I was at before my new one. Some people have fight or flight. I don't have flight. Many years ago my father said "you'll be ok you're a survivor." I looked at him and said "fuck that shit I'm a conquer. I kick fucking ass."

So when your fear starts over you use it to generate the fight you need to kick some ass.

Yeah i acutally have had some thoughts about being a junky since i pin my self with oil, medicine that i really dont have to use since im not sick. What keeps me wanting to use steroids is, that i live such a healthy life, eating correctly, not drinking, not smokeing.. I now and then allow my self to drink but happens every 3-4td month.

I say: If im this healthy and living my life correcty, pinning and using steroids is not going to be bad for me.

If i was an asshole that did it for other purposes then for my self, then i would think otherwise.

I dont think hes talking about that fight or flight adrenaline rush bro, which would be a great benefit in the gym (provided you naturally are predisposed to "fight", as I am... and it sounds like you as well)... Hes talking about a panic attack. Theres no "harnessing" a panic attack, its a completely irrational and overpowering experience, all you can do is kind of ride it out and stay rational mentally, even though your mind is telling you otherwise. Just keep breathing deeply and at a normal, steady rate, and concentrate on that, and on the fact that your body is reacting to a nonexistant stimulus. If they didnt use to bother you I bet in a couple weeks you'll be lookin forward to that needle again!! The advice about injecting the quads from a seated position is good as well, its less stressful and just in case you are gettin these bad enough you think you might pass out you wont fall and bust your face on the counter you were just leaned up on!! Hope it gets better bro!
