Is the Monjaro shot similar to what getting Zoladex was like?

Hi everyone, 

I had breast cancer in 2024 and am happily in remission. Of all the crap things that happened that year the part that freaked me put the most was the Zoladex injections. I cant even really explain it, they were nothing compared to the rest of my treatment plan, I just couldn't cope with them. Had to get hubby to stab me every time but not before I'd had a full meltdown anticipating it. Even the thought of those injections makes me feel ill. 

Fast forward to today and I'm doing much better. Haven't been on Zoladex for a year. I was thinking about asking my GP to put me on monjaro for weight loss as my BMI is over 30 and I know being overweight increases my odds of reoccurrence. Well I just saw a photo of the monjaro shot and it looks so much like the zoladex one Nauseated face then the blurb about rotating the area you inject. It brought me right back.

Is there anyone here on monjaro who can reassure me that it will be different to what injecting the zoladex was like? I don't want to sign up for the shot and then have a panic attack when I see it.

Thanks.
