Question: How come I'm all of a sudden terrifed of blood!?
Like, I never was before, it never really bothered me, but today, my friend fell, and he was bleeding, and I started to feel really light headed and dazed out and i start to hallicinate and I felt like I was going to pass out!. Blood never bothered me before, and even like thinking that I have blood, and that it like moves or whatever makes me feel lightheaded!. WHYYY!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it likely wasn't JUST the blood; it was the 'perceived severity' of your friend's injury, too!. Your response was typical, actually!. People are more squeamish when someone they know and like is injured because it's easier to empathize with them (you really DO feel their pain!.) Plus, the symptoms you describe are ones of stress/excitement (your 'fight or flight' was out of whack); you had a vascular response to too much adrenaline, which can cause fainting, ringing or other sounds in your ears, shortness of breath!.!.!.!.Next time tense your whole lower body; hard!. It forces the blood back to your brain and stops the fainting feeling!.
It's only 'about the blood' if you choose to MAKE it be about it- then the phobia is slowly hardwired into your brain and behavior!. Though, truthfully, some blood squeamishness is already hardwired in!. I had that happen to a nursing student while I was showing him a MACHINE console; I don't think he went on to become Amish!. Just put it behind you, and realize you're one of the people that can faint, and watch out for THAT instead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your edit explains it!. Because you passed out when you hurt yourself, sub-consciously your brain is telling you that you will pass out at the sight of blood again!. You will probably be fine with your own blood if you were to cut yourself again, it will just be other peoples!.
It is just your mind playing tricks and its quite common!. But still weird huh!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
