I know that fear! by: Anonymous
Reading these comments are actually comforting to me, to see I'm not alone! I have been horrified of getting blood taken/needles going into my vein since 3rd grade when I first had it done. I am now 20!!! I've had over 100 blood tests done in the last 3 years, due to an illness I have called Lupus, and each time I have to go get bloodwork it's the same 'Aw crap' feeling. I actually have to go tomorrow, and while having dinner with my older sisters tonight, one of them tried touching the vein on my inner arm, laughing of course, since they find my fear funny. I ended up flailing my arms away and jumping out of my chair only to stomp on her foot on accident. We all started laughing then but uuugggghhhhh I really hate when the veins on my wrists or inner arm are touched e.e it's so unsettling! I find it best to take really deep breaths, lay down at the blood place, and look away. Ha, I've also noticed that when I feel the 'pinch' I have to say "EW" to get out all my nerves and then I just keep myself clam by telling the tech how much I hate giving blood. Normally it gives them a good laugh and it's done before I know it, still hate it though!
I'm so happy I'm not alone! by: Anonymous
I had no idea other people experienced this! I NEEDED to have blood taken today at the doctor. It was unavoidable. The whole time I was waiting I was hyperventilating and the second she touched my wrist to put on the rubber tie, I literally fainted. I don't even rest my head on my arm with my hand bent back and I've never properly attempted a cartwheel for fear of snapping my wrists.
Veins = EWWWW by: Olivia
Yeah, That's crazzzzzy. I'm glad I'm not alone. When I was younger I saw someone cut their wrist and they hit their veins and blood was shooting out and ever since then I can't stand people touching my wrists or back of my hands and I can't look at them or touch other peoples. If I hit the back of my hand on something, I have a panic attack. Even just looking at them makes me realll woozy. My bf squeezed my veins on my wrist super hard and I almost cried and passed out. I slapped him super hard.

Me toooo... Well for the veins thing at least!! by: Emersyn
Hey, I'm emersyn and I'm 17. I thought for sure someone was describing my fear when I read your description!!! Like seriously, every part matches up!!! Lol. I'm not afraid of needles per say, just afraid to get blood taken. Last time I went, I passed out in the blood-giving chair, the needle ripped out and I bled out!!! Awful right??? Then I passed out again when they went to bring me to a private room!!!! Ugh, horrifying!!!!!!
me too!! by: Rachael
hi am scared to death of veins or taking pulses! even other people touching their veins freaks me out sooo much that i have to shut my eyes and i cringe majorly!
me too! by: Katie
yay! I'm not alone. i can't stand to see the veins on people's wrists, it sends chills up and down my spine, i can't sit still, and i can bearly breathe. my neck is the worst part though. i can't wear turtlenecks. i sleep with my hands pulling the neckline of my shirt down. nothing can ever touch my neck, or i start feeling really weak and faint. also, my ankles. because there are veins there. if someone touches like the back of my ankle, they get so weak i cant even roll them anymore... im glad im not alone. guess we just have to deal with it lol, i just wish other people didnt know so they couldnt touch my neck for fun..
I have the same phobias!!! by: Farah
hey there, I cant believe you have those 2 phobias!!! I have them too, and I never thought someone would be the same. Though I've come to control my phobia of needles, I still go crazy when it comes to my veins or wrists!!! Do you think the 2 phobias are linked together in some way?
