How to get over a fear of needles?!
Question: How to get over a fear of needles?
Well, I have a fear of needles. It's not a phobia, but I'm pretty darn scared of them. Usually, whenever I go in for one, I cry. We had to have 3 cervical cancer jabs at school, and the first time I cried. The second time, I was ready and the 3rd time I literally didn't feel it. But those jabs don't hurt too much, they're pretty small needles. How can I prepare myself for larger and more painful needles? Especially self injecting, which I might need to do soon.

Well, I know how you feel I don't like them either. No one can really "get over" a fear but you can try to sort it out. If you just look away (I know people say that all the time but it doesn't really work!) but if you've had needles in the past you've just got to think about the times when you were scared and had the needle. You've also got to think about whats worse having a needle or getting cervical cancer for example, to be honest lol I'd rather have the needle. You've just gotta think of it like that really, cause like I say you can't just STOP being scared of them but you can get over it gradually. Hope I helped, probably didnt lol :)
I mean no one likes having needles but at the end of the day you have to have them x
Also really scared of needles :)
