I hope this is in the right place and please forgive if this has been covered but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this anziety.

I can hit my self in every vein from my toes to my finger veins (you know the tiny ones in the creases of your fingers yeah I have banged those)

But I go to the hospital cuz of a kidney stone and they are going to give me a shot of Dilaudid 4, and it was all I could do to not freak out.
The flood of fear and the want to run out even with the stone boring it way into my prostate.

So why can I hit me but freak out when others, more qualified people, try to just stick me not even in a vein?

I would always rather IV myself then have another do it. Part of tour anxiety might come from the expectation of euphoria, especially from a legal source you didn't think possible. Placebo (especially of your DOC opiates) is one hell of a brain fuck sometimes
 
Something to add is that most IV opiate addicts have more needle experience than most LPN/nurses.
 
all great points, thanks guys.

I just thought it was liking to hurt myself and not liking anyone else hurting my. self defense mechs . and a real brain fuck
