does anyone else have an intense phobia of needles, I had to get my blood drawn today and i started SOBBING im not kidding SOBBING and i refused to get it done backed up in a corner all that, then once the needle was in i was fine, this happens every single time
oh man i used to deal with this all the time too, i get my blood drawn quite frequently so i think the exposure is what helped me the most. one time the guy put on the simpsons intro for me and he was finished before that was done and told me just about every blood drawing takes about that much time and for some reason that really helped me calm down about it. i still get anxious but i can calm down faster and easier than before by reminding myself ive done it before i can do it again it doesnt really take that long
