I totally sympathise with you I have a needle phobia (trypanophobia) and have recently developed anxiety because of it , people dont understand they always say "it doesn't hurt " or "you'd rather have a flu jab than flu " but id rather have flu its not a case that il be fine if I look away its a case of me not physically being able to leave the house to go to the docs to get an injection . I have 7 tattoos and it hasn't helped my phobia one bit as its a different thing , but im going for CBT soon and will post an update if it works . All the best
