Going into the 24/25 academic year I’ve got extremely low confidence, self esteem and self doubt as now I’m writing this blog in October and it’s flu season but I can’t get my head around controlling my fight, flight or freeze to get it done.
I’ve had quite a few covid and flu jabs and all of them were indeed successful until last year when I had a little incident where the nurse had injected me the Covid jab in my left arm.
With the flu jab going in my right arm I felt some bubbles pop when the needle came out and the nurses simply said “oh it’s just bubbles, don’t worry it won’t harm you it’s done now”.
This has put a terrible fear I my mind if what if it happens again so this time a doctor said I could try some medication that would make me really drowsy and tired so it would let me finally have done after a few other attempts.
And this darker time in my life I’m filled with so little confidence and much self doubt if I would have it done.
As always much help and support is appreciated!
