All in the mind 11 months ago

It’s no exaggeration to say that even the sight of needles unnerves me. I break out into a cold sweat just looking at them. I know it’s all in the mind and I’d love to become a blood donor because it’s a good thing to do, but I’d have to overcome my fear first. I know it’s all in the mind and completely irrational—but phobias aren’t rational.

I'm really interested 20 months ago

in acupuncture. I’ve read up on it, and the benefits and it amazes me. I almost feel like finding a way to approach this could help me overcome this fear, but when I started reading about the needles I started squirming around and experienced a bit of panic. So… I’m open to suggestions and opinions on acupuncture and overcoming this fear altogether.

Option #.... oh i forget... 20 months ago

I have been contemplating and researching acupuncture. I figured this might be a way to overcome this nonsense. As amazing as it sounds, the second I started reading about the needles, and how they do it, and more details, I started squirming and slowly-but surely- freaking out. I’m not even sure I could get through a consultation.

If anyone has ever done this, I would love some comforting words. I could really benefit from acupuncture, let alone overcoming this fear.

The Flu 21 months ago

I had the flu last week and had to go to the doctor. Needless to say, after just the mention of drawing blood I ran out in tears. It didn’t happen. I get more and more embarrassed, but it’s so completely uncontrollable. I switch to a completely different person. I’m not myself anymore. I don’t know what to do anymore.



Ive made some strides! 22 months ago

I used the need for oral surgery as an opportunity to try and overcome my fear. I did very well during all the appointments, and I feel I’m doing much better!



I close my eyes, and turn my head away 1 year ago

I still HATE needles, but not as afraid of them as I was in the past!
