How do i get rid of Needle Phobia?
Question:
In class, something tweeked in my arm[sorta where people get shots] when i was handing a book to someone.I started thinking about needles and blood...got up to ask teacher if i could get some water, he said no. sat back down. got REALLY lightheaded, got up again to ask for water, said no again...turned around, blacked out. Wake up on the floor. People said i was out for 3 minutes. Felt fine immediatly afterwards.[Possibly because i was "distracted" from thinking about needles.
[Another time]
Went to doctors, needed to get blood drawn because i was sick...FREAKED out uncontrollably when they showed me he needle, then started dryheaving. Couldnt be calmed down enough to get the test...
[Yet another time]
Had to be given valum b4 getting wisdom teeth pulled. I was so loopy i could barely walk...still cried hysterically when i saw the needle.
Many more times also...is this a physcological problem?? Is there anything that can help me get over this ridiclous fear?
Answers:
Well Kaydee this sounds like you have a phobia a lot of people have and its an ugly one. Whenever i have to give blood for a test or get a shot i look away and don't even think about it. Maybe you should try the same. If you look away it will go a lot faster and better. Just don't move your arm because i once did and owww it pinched. The only thing you will know ehn you look away is that it give the needle pinch kind of like haha i'm in you.
Try some cognative therapy with a psycologist. You could try heroin, which will probably make you like needles, but probably kill you.
