    yeah bc they can never get blood from me and refer me to the hospital all the time 😂.
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    I have only ever had two blood tests... and I actually liked it or I thought it was cool at least. I am probably the only person who thinks that 😂 I liked watching the process.

    I don't hate or have any fears of needles, the blood tests didn't hurt. I know people who have had bad experiences, whether it is because of the professional taking the blood or their veins being difficult to work with.

    I really didn't like the needles for the COVID vaccines, I hadn't had an injection in a while, and forgot how sharp and scratchy it can feel. 🥲

    @toffuna101 Yes absolutely they terrify me! Honestly any medical tests I can't stand, even blood pressure

    @toffuna101 Don't even :sweat_smile: needles are actually my worst fear and I will pass out during any blood test I have...

    @fiona333 sorry not sorry but you are a crazy person and I'm jealous xD

    @lunarcat522 you too? Idk what's about it that makes it so horrifying lol.
    TW just in case:
    I mostly hate the feeling of the insides of my body interacting and stuff (or even just imagining it even if I'm not feeling it physically), hard to explain. For example feeling the blood pressure in my body as I'm having the test

    This stuff has such an effect on me that I'm feeling sick and a little lightheaded as I'm writing this post, ugh xD (I'm totally ok btw)
    Believe in me - who believes in you

    make sure you drink lots of water beforehand that makes your veins more effective on drawing blood. <3 gd luck! <3
