All consuming fear of needles.

KaloJaro

Hi,

Long story short, was told the doctors wanted to take a blood sample, I literally froze up shrieking 'No no no hell no' despite my mum being there to try and calm me down. I felt like I was going to throw up, began shaking really badly and I genuinely felt as though I was about to die despite being in a completely safe environment.I'm still shaking and seizing up at the thought of it now one hour since I was told.

I've never had blood taken from me before, I've lashed out at people who've attempted to give me injections before but I've never felt this scared before. Anyone got any advice on how to cope/calm down because my mums essentially said I'm having the blood test done if she has to rope in half the family to drag me there.

Advice DESPERATELY needed.

Katie.

  • KaloJaro thanks for this post. My 13 year old aspie is absolutely terrified. He has had the cream and various attempts at trying to take blood but cannot out of fear. He shakes and feels sick and thinks he will die. Hi heart speeds up and he sweats badly and cries. I feel so bad for him and am desperate to help him. He urgently needs the tests and I am trying everything possible. Your post has helped me to understand how he feels! x Thanks!
