#needle phobia

[fernlovesreanimator]

thinking about danbert…

Thinking about Dan having a phobia of needles and never letting Herbert sew his wounds. thinking about Dan making Herbert promise not to ever use the reagent on him, no matter what. Partly for the needle thing and partly becuase they don’t know the phycological affects it has on their victims yet. They’ve been so violent every time, they’re probably scared, they’re probably in pain. And Dan doesn’t want that. Thinking about Dan getting badly injured, not letting Herbert help him. Sure he wants him to help, he wants it to stop hurting, he wants to survive this, but Herbert would have to use a needle and he just. Can’t let him. Thinking about Herbert pleading with Dan, trying to calm him down and save him. Thinking about Dan wanting to let Herbert treat him, trying his best to stay still and let him sew it shut, and pushing him away the moment the needle gets too close. Thinking about Dan realizing he’s going to die. Thinking about Herbert realizing Dan is going to die. Thinking about Herbert trying to comfort him, putting the needle away and holding Dan close. Running his fingers through Dans hair and telling him that he’ll be alright. Thinking about Herbert joking that “I can always just bring you back,” in an effort to lighten the mood, distract them both. Thinking about Dan shaking his head violently, holding onto Herbert as hard as he can and making him promise, again. “No don’t, Dont bring me back, please-“. Thinking about Herbert realizing that Dan really is going to die. That he’ll be gone and Herbert won’t be able to do anything to bring him back. Thinking about Herbert allowing Dan the small comfort of dying in his arms.

Trans Phantom who's scared of needles. Rain who manages to calm him down enough to help him take his weekly t.

Dew who panics when he sees Phantom starting to freak him out and makes a hot chocolate.

Mountain who immediately makes sure the younger ghoul has a bottle of water because 'hot chocolate doesn't count as hydration Dew'

Dew who rolls his eyes with a 'what next? Energy drinks isn't hydration? Hm? You saying red bull isnt the same as a glass of water? You idiot'

Aether in the background just laughing trying to tell Mountain that he's been trying to tell Sodo that for years

Swiss who just laughs, playing it cool with a 'I don't go mother hen attitude' but as soon as no one is looking, he slips a few cookies towards Phantom with an innocent look

Phantom who tries his best not to panic but as soon as Rain leds him to the bathroom he's shaking.

Phantom who grips onto Rain's hand while he's trying to prep everything.

Rain who has to call Aether in to calm him down.

Aether who gently takes the younger's hand, rubbing soothing circles on his back.

avoiding them despite intense social pressure? i'm so proud of you, stay strong and take care of your mental well-being <3

avoiding them because nobody's said you have to, but you feel guilty anyway? i'm so proud of you, stay strong and take care of your mental well-being <3

getting them even though you really don't want to? i believe in you, stay strong and find what coping techniques work for you <3

getting them because you need to keep yourself and/or close ones safe? i believe in you, stay strong and find what coping techniques work for you <3

don't be afraid to ask for help and don't listen to those who sneer with the accusations of 'antivaxxer'. you know what's best for your physical and mental well-being. i know it's rough, especially with ads and triggering images all over the place, but you can get through this, however you choose to do so.

I just took my second shot of victoza/liraglutide after starting it yesterday and I'm still surprised that it doesn't hurt at all, because even though the needle is the tiniest goddamn thing it's still a needle, yknow? I figured yesterday at the hospital, when they taught me how to use it and it didn't hurt, it must have just been a fluke or like adrenaline from being nervous hid the pain, even to the point where the rest of the day I was a little nervous if I actually maybe didn't even penetrate my skin, but nope! Legitimately can't feel it at all, which is such a relief! I had the worst needle phobia when I was younger (specifically syringes) and while I've thankfully gotten past that with many years of medical issues forcing me to get blood tests, IV's etc, I was still nervous about if this would hurt, and if I'd be able to do it, but it doesn't and I can!

I hope that if anyone who has a needle phobia and needs victoza reads this (I'm assuming also ozempic needles are probably the same size but I have no way of knowing), that it might calm you a little, because it's really not bad at all, and when I say you can't feel it, I don't mean 'oh there's a baby pinch but it's not bad', I legit mean that I'm doing a double take and staring at where it's pressed into my skin to make sure the needle is actually in there because I cannot feel ANYTHING from it at all!

Day 6: Needlephobic

Since his (most recent) collapse, Jayce has been accompanying Viktor to his weekly blood draws. 

As with most things in their partnership and lives, it started as expediency: Jayce needed Viktor to give him information about an experiment they were working on and Viktor was late for his appointment, so they walked together. The blood draw wouldn't take long, so rather than walk back separately, Jayce loitered outside the clinic and walked Viktor back, barely a break in their conversational stride.  

And then, as with most things in their partnership and lives, expediency became habit. Jayce kept walking with Viktor, Viktor didn’t tell him not to, and this, too, was another place where their lives became subtly inseparable from each other. 

“...So theoretically, if we run power through the new coupling without adjusting for- oh, pardon, I don’t mean to be in the way-” 

They are standing in front of the clinic door as an older woman comes out and nearly hits Viktor. He catches himself on his crutch on one side and Jayce reaches out a hand to steady him on the other. Rather than issue her own apology, the woman scowls and Viktor shrugs as they both turn to watch her go.  

“Okay, you were saying about the new coupling?” Jayce prompts as Viktor glances at his watch.

“I need to go in-”

“Yeah, of course, just finish the thought, and I’ll let you go-”

“Just come in with me. They don’t mind.”

Jayce’s dark skin turns ashy under the collar of his shirt. “No, no. I couldn’t. You go in. We can finish this later.” 

Viktor frowns, puzzled. “It’s not a problem. Companions come in all the time. Just a blood draw. Little needle, in and out-”

Jayce turns his head at the word needle and Viktor swallows a chuckle. “Oh. Don’t like needles?”

He shakes his head, affronted. “No! It’s not that. I mean, who loves them, right? But it’s no big deal.”

“I really need to go in-” Viktor gestures with his chin to the hand that’s still holding his arm. “Are you coming with me or staying out here?” 

A deep breath. “In. I’m going in,” Jayce says with the air of someone who has agreed to a suicide mission, but doesn’t move from the spot where he has rooted his boots, nor has he let go of Viktor’s arm, which he is gripping hard enough to bruise. . 

“Then we should go,” Viktor gently prods. “Come along.” And when that doesn’t quite work, he tries teasing: “I will tell you all about power couplings and you won’t feel a thing.”

That, at least, gets Jayce moving.

How did you get past your needle phobia to get tattoos done?

For some reason, piercings and tattoos don't really hit on the phobia the same way. I also do self-injections on a daily and weekly basis and that's not normally an issue, either (unless I'm super high, then I get weird reactions). It's strictly a medical phobia, and is strongest with IVs and having blood drawn. 😬

Surprisingly, I do want to attempt needle play at some point when I find a Top experienced in that area.

I'm not afraid of needles in the normal way. I'm perfectly fine getting a shot or whatever. I'm afraid of needles in the COOL way: inexplicably flinch whenever I see a still image or video of them pointing towards me

[maidfordeath]

I had to go to the doctor's a couple weeks ago for my sports physical, and my doctor asked if I've had my second meningitis shot. So here I am having a full on panic attack in the check-up room bc I have a very bad phobia of needles and injections, and my mom is rubbing my back and attempting to get me to calm down as she faces the consequences of not telling me I have to get another shot when she knows my history with them and that I have almost fainted before while getting required immunizations.

I'm pro-vax, but I put them off for as long as possible bc of my phobia of them.

trypanophobia warning!

youtube asmr channel yt object frequently uses needles and syringes in their videos. the footage is exclusively extreme close-ups and can easily trigger trypanophobia with no warning.

stay safe <3

[faestonerboi]

Okay any other people on HRT via injection have times where you just REALLY don't want to inject yourself? I've been having my mom just do the shot for me lately when this comes up. However I feel kind of wimpy since I have given myself a shot plenty of times before.

[brakish-tea]

Hey guys! This isn't podcast related but I got past my really awful needle phobia today and got blood taken!! I'm really proud of myself so I just wanted to share

[politicsoflove]

Why must I be afraid of or anxious about everything?
