When I was around 4 or 5 I cut my thumb open with a knife (long story) It required stitches, and the doctor did them without any pain killers (another long story that should involve suing for malpractice, but doesn’t)
So you can understand I have a similar reaction to needles. The way I got over it was force my self to give blood, and watch the whole time. While I was doing it I keep focused on what was really happening pain wise VS what my brain/fear was telling me what was happening. I still don’t like needles but I can have them draw blood without freaking. Or at least not as bad as I used too.
