needle phobia
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?

As much as needles suck & hurt, they're nothing to be scared of. I'm scared of them too, but when it's time to get the things I need done, I suck it up.
Just try & laugh off the pain or talk to somebody while they give you the shot. If you concentrate on something else, you won't be focused on the pain & it won't scare you as much. The best way to eliminate a fear is to face it.

OMG im the same way...when i got my ears pierced they needed 5 nurses and i was only like 5 and i kicked like 3 of them and bruised them..and when i got my shots this yr i punched a nurse in the face... i felt horrible its just a huge fear of mine too... i tried to overcome it by getting my nose pierced and it helped alittle cause i really wanted it done so maybe getting like a piercing that u want will help you overcome it hope i helped
