How do I stop being scared of needles?
Question:
Answers:
i used to be the same way.. i'd actually go into a near passed out state..- happened to me many many times...
but then i learned that if i focused on something else- like say pretending i was playing soccer or fighting someone it really helped out..
just remember too- getting a shot or your blood drawn won't kill you
also it helps if you don't look and forwarn the doctor you may puke or pass out- they usually let you lay down and its much better. If you do black out nothing happens- they give you some smelling salts.
the shot is just a small prick- and if youare like me you prob kept thinking about how all this blood may or may not supernaturally squirt all over the place and you could die (thats what i used to think or imagine) but this cannot happen...
so i say just suck it up and focus on something else.. you could bring an ipod and listen to some music...
Hang out with a emo or goths
Its the thought of having a needle stuck in you that makes you scared ,but if you really stop and think about it has a shot really hurt that bad.I have had lots and I still dont like it but I just try to relax and not stiffen up and somrtimes they are done before I relise it
