I hate the doctor! I have such a fear of needles!
I've had it since I was little. I was sick for awhile when I was around 7 and 8 and had to go to doctors all the time and have all sorts of mumbo jumbo done and this gave me a debilitating fear of needles! I haven't had too many reasons for shots or getting blood taken as I got older, so anytime it did happen, I would get hysterical.
Like can't breathe full on bawling. It was bad.
But guess what! I had to get some blood taken twice in the last couple of months and...dare I say it? I think I'm getting past it! It didn't hurt...I survived it. I didn't cry! I totally held in my tears and stayed calm and it wasn't so bad. I know this sounds so silly, but it really was a big deal for me. I mean, if my dad can go through doctors and needles all the time, I know I can do it every now and then. If he can be brave and tough about it, I will be too.
I don't think I'll be rushing to donate blood anytime soon...but conquering this fear is something I thought I could never do.
Shows once again, you can do absolutely anything you set your mind to. No matter what it is.
