this is interesting but like what’s the fear? are you scared of the actual needle or the thought of it going into your skin

Idk it’s the idea of something foreign inside. Interestingly, I’m a nurse and I’ve given a bunch of shots and started dozens of IVs. It doesn’t bother me for other people, but I have to really compose myself before I get a shot or IV

It’s not even my mind that really panics, but my body will. It’s really weird

I donated blood for the first time about a month ago and my mind was chill about it, but my body literally went into fight or flight mode and I almost passed out. Really embarrassing. Like imagine being completely calm while all the sudden your body starts to tremble out of fear (but you don’t feel fear) and then you kinda black out
