sounds funny and daft.....IS funny and daft, unexplainable and irrational....but a very VERY real fear that produces very real physical symptoms!
Laughing at someone suffering from a phobia is like laughing at someone with a broken leg.
OK, they can get over it - with help, maybe you can't do anything to help - but it's still cruel.
I have always been and still am a very pragmatic man, i seen the reason in everything, and i'm not sacred of anything........
except needles :scared:
I can not give blood, i hate to be inoculated but i know i have to. I will go to the doctors and will let them do it, i know it will not harm me, it will be just a slight sting.
But my body WILL NOT do as i tell it to, and i will usually react badly to any injection i have. I know full well where my fear comes from and what caused it, I'm fully over it but for the life of me i cant get ride of that one minor trigger in the far reaches of my brain to stop the bloody thing.
Like i said i'm a very very pragmatic man just sometimes the brain out rules you no matter what you do to convince it otherwise.
