Just write it.... It WILL help to get it out.
I don't even know where to start

Maybe with whatever comes into your head first?
I don't know how to untangle it. There are so many things just there. The injections, the appointment with the nurse prescriber, my moods being up and down to name just a few.
OK What is it about the injections? Did you want me to put you in touch with my friend? Maybe she can help put some of your worries to bed a bit?
Nurse prescriber - all you can do is be honest and open. Can you take someone with you? Bullet point list at the ready?
Keeping a mood diary?
Morning......is it the pain of the needle that is worrying you? There are several different 'topical' anaesthetic gels/creams that you can buy from Boots or online. Some years ago I had to draw blood for glucose readings. I have my own tester. I used a gel to numb the area that I had to prick. It worked like a dream, and what's more, the needles these days are so much finer than they used to be...just like a hair, you'll hardly notice.
I think it's the fact that I have to do it myself! Needles don't bother me, I can watch the needle go in! But it's different when it's a nurse doing it. Probably a lot of it is the unknown too.
I can ask Char about it if you want? She's lovely!
