I have a phobia of needles. A few months ago a nurse needlessly put a needle into my wrist and now I have tendinitis. I don’t really know how to cope, I’m alright with someone putting a needle in me but I just end up crying for whatever reason

Not as bad as a phobia but the past year/year and a half I've really started getting anxious to drive in the dark and the rain. To the point where I've left early from work two different times because it was dark and we were supposed to get bad storms. I'll just take my time if I have to drive or stay home/have my fiancee drive if I can.

I'm in a small vacation that makes it hard with traffic. All these people In this small town. I by wish you well . We dont even have uber in this small town. 😥😥

I do some. But mine isn't really your common phobia like fear of hights or spiders. I have a massive fear of hippopotamus.
