Question: HOw can I get over my phobia of needles!?
Hey there, so honestly, I have a giant phobia of needles, it's not like sewing needles, it's medical needles, like at the doctor, for example today, I had to get blood drawn, I was calm before it, but as soon as the guy walked in with the supplies, i st arted having a panic attack, i was like crying, breathing heavy, and i just couldn't calm down, same when i was getting my shots today, the nurse came in,a nd she asked me to give her my arm, and i freaked out, i strated to cry, i had to put in my ipod, to somewhat distract me, but as soon as I saw her take out the vaccine i was a mess, my mom seriously had to let me squeeze her hand until i swear i cut off the circuation to it, how can I get over this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a HUGE phobia of needles!. I went to the doctor 3 days ago scared when they had to draw my blood!. About 2 weeks ago when I had some blood drawn, I almost fainted and then I cried my way on out the door!. I understand what you are going thru!. WHAT HELPS ME is to talk to the lab nurse that is drawing my blood!. Most of them keep you well distracted by asking you all kinds of questions so that you won't think about it and CLOSING your eyes so tight! Sometimes, I count backwards just to really keep my mind focused on making sure I count the numbers right LOL!. Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know exactly what you mean!. i'm terrified of them!. i hate them! and they really hurt me!. my skin is so sensitive to them!. but sometimes you have to think happy or better thoughts or tell yourself that it 's only to help you or make you a better stronger person!. i use to scream kicked and holler and my mom and grandma use to have to come together with me wheneva i got shots because i was so buckwild!. and i'm still afraid of them!. but a very special friend talked with me and helped me to just try and ignore the pain and think happy thoughts and just be strong!. and i usally think of him now whenever i get one!. just take it day by day and you'll slowly heal!. i wish you the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
