Re: needle phobia
Hi Kitten, really sorry to hear about your phobia of needles... I have a similar (although not identical) fear of them - mine is almost specifically to do with having blood taken - so I definitely can appreciate what you are going through, to some extent.
Is there anything at all that you can use / take with you to help keep you even a tiny bit calmer? Perhaps music? Watching something on your phone? Talking to someone?
If not, then have you tried talking to your GP about the problem to see if he can prescribe anything for when you need it?
Have you ever tried going through any types of therapy for your fears? It takes a while and some effort, but this may be a good idea to at least change how you think about things and allow you to control the situation, rather than it controlling you.
Whatever happens, I hope you manage to get some help
