Why am i so afraid of blood?!


Question: i'm really bad. if i start thinking about blood, circulation and blood being 'pumped' *shudders* i cringe and feel all weak and weird. i can't write (which made biology difficult when we were talking about circulation). i become very aware of the veins in my wrists and neck, and i then hate having things touching my neck. i can't even feel for my own pulse, as the thought and feel of it makes me feel sick. i don't really care about admitting that i'm a self harmer on here (i've mentioned it in questions before anyway), so i'm a complete freak - a self harmer that's afraid of blood. i can't cut deep because i hate the sight of blood.(that's probably a good thing though). i panic, even at a small amount of blood. i don't mind watching hospital programmes, but i have to look away when there's blood. and the idea of needles in veins makes me feel sick. i want to take A Level biology, so i need to be able to talk about blood and do dissection, so how can i get rid of this fear of blood?

realy that ant a bad thing!
like we all have our fears and all like it is scary when you think about it so dont be callin yourself a freak kauz ur not!
well the only way to get rid of a phobia is to face it.....
like just mix some red paint with water and pour it down the sink and watch it and go from there....
best of luck! :)

lol think of blood as bloody mary mix no achole mmmmm yummy

cut off your own arm and watch

Sometimes that happens to me too. The best way to get over it is to actually witness someone's bleed. I mean really bad bleeding. You'd probably get over it, since you'd have to help that person

You have a real problem, you need to talk to a professional about this.

mmmmmmmmmmm its okay we all fear something

Pretend its ketchup.or tell ur teacher about tis or go to the doctor : )

its called Hemophobia

The proper name for the fear of blood is haemophobia and it's a really bad one to have cause we all have blood inside us for food and oxygen to travel through and get to the cells which need all their vital oxygen.Have you seen your doctor yet maybe he can help you face your phobia of blood so i take it that since you have a fear of it you must have a fear of horror movies that you've watched and people dying in it show gallons of blood squirting out form their organs and heads.

because it look like an orange juice

i dunno. i have to have a blood test soon, n i dont like needles

As with any phobia the treatment is Psychotherapy.

um... look at it this way! u will never ever cut urself!
