Of course I am! I have a terrible fear of them. I dread getting flu shots, I tried to convince my mom to get me the nasal spray instead, but she didn't let me. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm really dreading it.

I have a phobia of needles and sharp objects. It's really bad. There are little reasons why it's bad, like I'll never be able to get the tattoos I want. But it's also impacting my health. I was told to get blood work done when I was 10 years old.
I'm 21 now. I still haven't gone. My doctor is getting ready to kill me. She actually gave me pills to knock me out while I'm getting the blood work done, but I still had panic attacks while thinking about the needle being in my arm, so I never went.
I'm a little afraid of them, but my fear is not nearly as bad as it used to be. Now I just close my eyes or look away and I'm like, what the heck was I so scared/anxious about? My brain just has to make it worse than it really is orz
[SUB](But I had to be strapped down when I was younger, which I dunno, probably exacerbated my fear. Thanks doc * ^*)[/SUB]
only reason that i dislike them is because i need to show them my arm lol
most of the time they don't hurt at all. got a blood test last week and didn't feel a thing, worst thing abot it was to remove the bandaid afterwards lmao
I hate them. If I have to get an injection for some reason, I'll put it off for as long as possible.
Last time I needed one was when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I put it off for like 12 months despite them being really sore because I didn't really want the needle.
I don't know what it is exactly that I'm scared of because I know it doesn't tend to even hurt. There's just 'something' about it. I don't even like seeing them being used on TV and stuff, I have to look away.
I hate them with a fiery passion but definitely realize that they're sometimes a necessary evil. I used to really freak out at the prospect of having an injection or blood draw, but now I just put on my headphones and get it over with as quickly as possible.
