White coat syndrome?

Do you stress out when getting shots/blood drawn/vaccinations?

No, I have no issues getting shots

Yes, I hate needles

[DizzyDesii]

I used to fight the doctors when it came to getting shots/taking blood and my mom had to pin me down. I also used to bite the dentists 😂 I finally outgrew doing so sometime in or after HS but made an exception this year when I got my first shot in the asscheek after a supposed spider bite. 🤣 Other than that, I now sit still like a champ but I stare down the needle in Kill Bill style to remind it who packs more punch

[Whatthefluff]

I try to behave as calm as possible, but internally am like AAHHHHHH
Avoiding seeing the needle and tray has helped me. Bloodwork is even freakier, just because of the visual and the sensation, but I had good luck the last time getting it done by someone who knew how to talk while doing it and kept it peaceful-ish for yours truly.

Not at all.
I used to give myself my allergy shots many years ago.
It saved an hour of driving and a lot of money doing it myself.
It was no big deal.

I don't get vaccinations. But I look away when getting blood drawn. It's creepy but I don't get woozy or anything.

[DizzyDesii]

Looking away means I can’t see whats coming and when. I now have to stare at it being inserted into me and removing blood so that I can feel in control 😂

[Lliam]

@DizzyDesii. I pretend like I'm somewhere else. LOL

[DizzyDesii]

At least you dont react like i used to. I was acting just like the gif i posted below

[NotInterestedSorry]

Nope never have. I'm used to giving blood. I even got given a brave award as a kid, because I didn't cry or freak out when I had to have a blood test.

[slatyb]

I ask nurses to give shots in my glutes instead of my arm. Shots in the arm tend to leave me a bit sore.

[DizzyDesii]

Had my first ass shot this year and couldn’t sleep on that side for almost a week 😭 never again

[slatyb]

@DizzyDesii Wow. I hardly feel them.

[slatyb]

Of course it could depend on the injection. Mine were just routing vaccinations.

[DizzyDesii]

Mine was for a spider bite and it was like a pinch but even pinches hurt 😂

[whereismyjohnny]

Nope. I’m completely chill when it comes to needles. 😅

[sheikalana]

I don't but my brother does he often passes out on blood tests.

[MORPHEUS_12]

Nope, it's mind over matter.

[exitseven]
