Anyone else out there have an irrational fear of needles?!


Question: It can't just be me...

The weird thing is I don't mind piercings (2) or tattoos (9) but come at me with a shot or to take my blood and I turn into a shaking freaked out little girl.
Who else is like this?

yes!yes!yes! im a 24yr old mother of two and i am reduced to a sobbing two yr old just at the sight of a needle and thats just when the nurse takes it out the packaging when she comes at me with it thats it GAME OVER! haha so fear not you are not alone! xxxxx

i'm not super scared of them. i'd rather stay away than be close to them :)

Not me, thank God! I am a diabetic!

I am.

no i don't mind them at all

nope not me

NO

I'm the opposite. I've had 2 kids, so you know my blood has been drawn a gazillion times. Then I pushed both 9+ pounders out. But I'm scared to death of the needle and pain that comes with getting a tattoo.

Nope. Just the opposite; for some reason, they've never scared me at all.

I can remember when I was a tiny girl; getting shots fascinated me, but I never was scared really.

I WAS scared when I got my tat though; but, it turned out okay.

Not me

Me, I have a tooth that needs to be pulled and the only reason I'm putting it off is because I know I'm going to need two shots at the back of my mouth to numb it and thats something I do not even want to comprehend.

the sight of blood just freaks me out. I get pale and feel like I'm gonna faint.

I'm such a wussy

i'd better not be i have to give myself a shot of insulin daily. i didn't like needles but got over very quickly.

I am!!!! Needles scare the crap out of me!!!!!!

U Sound Like You Have Been Shooting With Them
"(GASP)....OOOOHHHHHH YEEEEAAAA"

Yeah, I don't shake but my body reacts very oddly. I have what they call "floating veins"...they constrict when I know I'm getting a shot or blood drawn. It's pretty awesome especially if the nurse doesn't know how to deal with it.

I was. I had actually internalized it to the point where I would pretend like I wasn't scared but passed out after getting a shot. I actually passed out cold 4-5 times.

It was because my grandmother was a bipolar diabetic and would stick me all of the time when I was a kid and panic about it.

The more I thought about where the fear came from the more I got over it.

Plus that epidural when I was in labor made me love needles a little more :)

I HATE needles -- but I don't think that's irrational!

i am i hate needles once i went to the doctor and they said i have to give u shots and i bursted into tears idk why but i just hate needles and it suck i have to go get my tetnis shot this month idk how but it sucks i have needle phobia lol i don't mind piercings either i have three one of them i did on my own it didnt even bother

I used to be.
But then I started staying long periods of time at various psychiatric hospitals to get rid of my fear.

Nah, I don't mind them at all. But, I have good veins. Most people who fear them don't have great veins, therefore, they have had problems in the past with them which gives them the fears that they have. Understandable.

Not me. Just close your eyes and grin & bear it. It's no biggie.
I also have 2 diabetic children that I have to give insulin shots to on a daily basis.

it doesn't bother me anymore

I used to have my blood test weekly because I had anemia from anorexia

No I'm not. After having kids and having to get blood taken often you kinda just get use to it and it's nothing. I hate IV's and the fear or it crosses my mind the whole air in the veins but I don't worry about the needles

yes sometimes.
