IM Injections Over Sub Q Shots/ or Pump Boluses

I’m wimpy and it hurts… I’ve tried but then give up and just do sub q when I feel the needle hitting muscle. It still comes down a little faster than my normal ab injections when I try my quad and end up with sub q and I’m running but not by that much. I still have some needle-phobia… I have this irrational fear that the 6mm needle will come out my back (my first 2 weeks, my abs completely shut down due to this and my back was supporting all my posture, it was awful). It hurts, I’m a wimp, but sometimes I really would like to get a high down faster. Any tips for getting it over with or do I just need to suck it up?
