It's the apprehension of the hidden needle that gets me. I'd much rather a bare lancet I can manually stab myself with lol

[@Peanutter123]

I was having so many panic attacks and depressive stages that I couldn’t do this test.

As a diabetic who does this abt 3-5 times a day it is surprising to me how much anxiety this causes people

[@Peanutter123]

THANK YOU

[@Peanutter123]

So many people have been leaving hateful responses to a comment I left about anxiety

Well, some of us do suffer from mental health, and may also have a blood or needle phobia.

[@Peanutter123]

@@Selene666 you’re genuinely such an understanding and lovely person thanks, it’s a nice change from the horrible people you find here. The weird thing is I’m not scared of needles, only finger prick tests. I have problems with PSTD and every time I see one I breakdown, it’s getting better now, hopefully it will stop soon.

I've never been afraid of needles but when I got older I started to get afraid of blood testing on my finger bc I know it is a sensitive area. I can't bring myself to do it, I had to ask someone else

[@denbenoucruncneo3002]

I have to have this done every 2 weeks becuese of my cancer.

I have a doctors appointment tommorow, and I feel a bit nervous about this. Thanks! Edit: I did it and it was nothing just a tiny boop or whatever not even a bite literally nothing

[@aurexiall6346]

i got this yesterday. I was so scared, was rolling on the floor and screaming but it didn't hurt a bit when they put it in💀

[@EmilyT137]

I am suppose to get a finger prick test because my GP thinks I have a condition which I can’t remember the name of when I’ve already been tested for it. I’ve had a blood test before for it and after that, I’m never going back to get another, especially after my nightmare about it last night

[@christophermcpake8726]

I got something like this similar for my blood sugar or something like they put something on my finger and it numbed my finger

[@BrianBadondee]

Bruh I am having a strong drink before this. I’ve had 7 needles in a gaping wound before but adrenaline was in play. I genuinely can’t bring myself to do this 💀💀

[@Justanobodybro]

im gonna sniff coke before this

I thought so but it doesn’t actually really hurt. It’s a sudden “paper cut”.

[@idk-6816]

Why the wipes with alcohol it makes it hurt

Never had one of these done I have got a canulass in but they can't get any bloods from it so there doing this tommorow since they have blown most of the good veins I have while trying to get the canula in 10 injection in 2 days

[@charliekohl7358]

I used this exact lancet today for an STI test and HOLY FUCk. cried for like an hour beforehand and when i finally willed myself to prick my finger i was gushing blood like no one else. covered my bathroom sink

Meanwhile, I also did this test, and I couldn't even fill the tube to 600 because I wouldn't bleed enough. They're probably gonna reject my sample, but I used all 3 and just wouldn't bleed more. My friend pinned me down the whole time because I kept crying and flinching because needles suck
