advice
im am a serious needle phobic. like i know its not a fear. like if i hear someone say i need a shot or that im getting a needle or blood shot i go ballistic. like yo udont know how scared i am of them. im a 14/f. last summer i didnt need one thank god. but the year before i did. and it was crazy. they had to have 10 nurses in the room.. they had 5 on top of me..i kicked my doctor in the balls (but that was by accident haha lol) i start crying and everything and i hyperventalate to the point where they have to stop what there doing and help me breathe. liek i cant get a shot! and its horrible. i got my blood test done where they had to put the needle in my arm once. my mom hasnt taken me back yet because she was hugging me and i grabbed her hair and ripped part of it out. like i cant stand needles. what can i do to not be soo afraid of it?
wow. hah and i thought i was terrified. sorry.
but. this year in june i have to get 2 shots ):
on the same day so what ive been doing is. practing looking the other way closing my eyes and listening to my iPod (which your allowed to bring) also idk if yu'll do this. its acuallt kinda weird. when i get somethign sharp i kinda stab my arm with it to prepare for the pain.
edit- OH make sure its allowed where you go my mom said you can bring your iPod to almost any medical procedure. but i would just ask.
