Needle phobia

Hi there

I just saw «needle phobia» and thought I might as well click-in and hopefully give some calm words.

I too had needle phobia, as a kid I wouldn’t just freak out when I had to get vaccinated, or when the doctor did some blood work. I would freak out just from the mere sight of a needle or something remarkably sharp.

Back then, I wouldn’t image ever being able to poke myself with a needle. If someone would tell me that I had to give myself shots, for the rest of my life to survive, I would probably laugh it all off and tell them that I wouldn’t be able to do it.

Strange thing, when life throws an illness at you, were you have to face your biggest «fairs», you will adapt. I do not have a needle phobia anymore, I won’t go as far as to say that I love needles now, but I do not mind them.

So it will get better, you will eventually get used to needles, and experience that it could have been way worse
