Trypanophobia
I used to joke that I was never at risk for doing drugs - I hate needles, I rather get punched in the face than get punctured by a needle. Plus, mysophobia, or more specifically, fear of OTHER people's germs, getting germs from OTHER people, keeps me from evar snorting cocaine evar, until I'm an old lady with the patience to grow my own poppies. Dude, drugs are smuggled into the country in packed condoms hidden up someone's ass, the ass of someone too ugly and/or filthy of hygenie to get money for sex so they smuggle drugs in their ass in stead. Then there is the hillbilly heroin, meth, meth is cooked in sinks, and sometimes, toilets, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way. These drugs are gross and I won't have physical contact with people who do them.
Back to the topic, it's not so funny now, I just turned down the offer of a flu shot because of my fear of needles, and my doctor quickly agree with me because she remembered me fainting from shock after a routine blooddrawing a few months ago. My trypanophobia is getting worse, and might be behind the reason why I took so long to go to a check up.
Supposingly hypnosis helps, but I called form Center A which refers me to Center B which refers me back to Center A, I think I might have to do it with the gradual easing me myself and moi method. Sterilize a needle, hold it against my skin, bit by bit by bit. This whole stupid thing is purely psychological after all, otherwise, my shoulders wouldn't be as stiff as a board while talking to CamH about it. It's probably been causing me much more pain then it did for other people, because I tense up so much.
