At psych appointment today was recommended to go get a physical and bloodwork. Physical I’m fine with nbd, bloodwork has me worried because I generally pass out even when laying down. Really worried about all that even with my wife coming with for support.

I know I need to do it and hopefully get a sleep apnea referral but it still spikes my anxiety and gives me traumatic flashbacks to other times I’ve fainted/passed out.

 

I absolutely hate getting blood work too. I’ve never fully passed out but I’ve come close. Doesn’t help that I get myself all worked up the days leading up to getting the blood work.

 

Glad I’m not the only one! People give me shit due to having tattoos and piercings and I’m like that’s not even remotely the same thing.

 

I'm an anxious and neurotic person, but needles and blood don't bother me much for whatever reason. i tend to watch the whole thing lol.

so worn out from work rn.

 

I hate blood work because it’s impossible to find a vein on me. They have to get real creative. Don’t do drugs

 

yep same, I’ve had nurses laugh at me for being nervous because I have tattoos. Completely different thing!

 

My department had the opportunity to use our company's box at the local college basketball game tonight, and I completely forgot. I was reminded when my friends mentioned they were going, but they never asked me if I was going (or mentionedit at all this past week...), and so I'm feeling pretty low.
