3 ways to manage a fear of needles

[bobobaby]

the smell of rubbing alcohol brings back traumatic experiences

[littlesalt]

I feel like the shot doesn't hurt but the looking at the needle and how sharp it is it just makes u panic and cry

[andreali]

the alcohol wipe that they sanitise your skin first is the most scary part for me LMAO

POV: You are watching this because you are having a shot really soon and you are freaking out.

SEEING THE NEEDLE MAKES ME CRY, THEY WALK INTO THE ROOM WITH A NEEDLE AND I CRY AND HIDE...

I can't even talk about needles without starting to breathe heavily and tear up. It scares the hell out of me and I honestly cry whenever I see a needle. I can't bare anything to do with needles.

Guys it’s ok! I’m deathly afraid of needles and I had to get my first covid shot today, it was really quick and I had anxiety attacks for nothing. And the lady giving the shot was so nice and soothing, whoever is reading this I just know you can do it if I can :)

Update 2024: I’ve now experienced getting my blood drawn, it’s worst then getting a shot… I recommend just looking away ik it’s hard but you can do it! 💪

Who else can hear the word shot and immediately start crying and having a breakdown? 🙋🏼‍♀️

The real fear is when the nurse leaves for a long time leaving you in the worst suspension ever. Torture at the max

Once they rub the injection site with the alcohol rub is when the nerves suddenly spike for me.

Hey if your afraid of needles, on the bright side you won't do heroin??

Why is it that when I tell somebody I have a fear of needles they always say "don't worry it doesn't hurt" "it's not like it hurts" "it doesn't even hurt, what's the big deal" IT'S NOT THE GODDAMN PAIN I KNOW NEEDLES DON'T HURT! I have a very high pain tolerance and throughout my life I have always taken pain relatively silently and rarely cried. Needles are nothing, I don't pass out when I break a bone, yet I pass out when I watch somebody put a needle in my hand. It's not the pain, what I find unsettling is the fact that somebody is sticking a foreign object into my body and pushing more fluids into an already full vein or just letting it sit there while it takes stuff out of me.

I came here for myself as an adult who is scared of needles, only to be compared to a literal baby 😭😂😂

[dimasfachrymadiana]

Fun fact: You are not scared of the pain the needle has but you are scared of a syringe gping trough your skin

[scobroz]

Me: **hears that I’m getting a shot**
My Brain: *_-IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD YAY!-_*

[rpk]

Just thinking about the moment before the shot... That just makes me axious. I cant take that

[Mintyporksoda]

My parents and grandparents always tell me that I just need to "get over it" but it's not that easy

[temari]

Her: Older children and Teenagers have trouble with needles the most
Me: why u have to call me out like that thou 🥲
