I'm a firefighter, every year we have to get a physical...including blood work.
Every time I tell them I pass out from needles, they either laugh, look at me strange, or don't believe me. I have to lay flat & not look or I freak out...


Let me explain pure terror of needles

A little while ago, we had 2 firefighter funerals, I was helping with the one, and we had THOUSANDS of firefighters standing outside in the blizzard from all over the country (And canada, and some even from poland o.o)

I ended up getting severe hypothermia... In the ambulance I witnessed what terror truly is >_>
Not being able to move because your muscles are all retracted, and staring at the only place you can, your arms, and watching them slowly inject you with IV after IV...
I couldn't talk, couldn't yell... Imagine Mio in K-on...I kinda just stared helplessly, tears rolling away >_>

The one near my eyes left me terrorised. Your instincts are stronger about the eyes. Guess why.

Felt like a champ after I took it though.

Injection is also the technical term in the UK.


Shots near the eyes?!?! Oh my gosh. I'm probably the worst with my eyes. When I go to the eye doctor I dread eye drops, shining of the light in my eye, etc. My eyes are VERY sensitive. I don't know if they're above the normal sensitivity, but they are definitely sensitive to anything and everything. Mad respect for dealing with those eye shots.

And not gonna lie I totally wikipedia'd the technical terms to make sure everyone knew what I was talking about ha probably not the best choice on my part.

Haha even though they were trying to help you it sounds like something out of a Saw movie.

I get a few every couple days now. If I was that scared of them, I don't think I'd still have my sanity.

Besides, shots aren't nearly as scary as that one kid at school who bites people on sight...

Getting shots has never bothered me I usually watch them stick the needle in. I don't really like having to do labs because I always get light headed when they take my blood even though it is only a little bit.

I don't believe in getting shots for anything. I fill out a form to get exempt from taking them for my college.

I used to be scared of them when I was a child but not anymore.
I hate getting my blood drawn though. I have bad veins (hard to find I guess) so they usually have to poke around a lot.

Shots scare the daylights out of me. The pain is what gets me. I can't stand the pain from the needles.

One time, I had to get 5 shots, plus a blood withdrawal. 3 to my left arm, 2 to my right. Blood taken from right arm. Most painful day of my life.

^Finally! Someone who understands me. Like I've said I don't mind the shot part. I just hate the serial killer jabs the nurses always do to me lol. And wow...that sounds like an awful experience.

I still freak out at my age. I was freaking out so bad the last time I went in, that the doctor asked me if I wanted my father to come in (he drove me to the office as I was loopy). Afterwards, the jerk doc (who has known me my whole life) gave me a sticker and a hard candy for being brave when I refused to let my dad in the room.
