scared

[Bermudagal]

I’m scared to go for blood work . Not of the needle, but of outcome. Why why why do I do this to myself. I am I addicted to suffering?

Hi I`m quite the opposite hate needles and at various times they struggle to get blood from me. on the other hand I go in open minded like today as I had mine done. the way I see it if something shows up then you have every opportunity to get the best possible treatment for whatever it may be and if nothing shows up happy days.

More than likely you have the test and ask yourself what was all the fuss for like I did yesterday over a 6 month inspection at the flat as I had got myself uptight over it and then she inspected the place and was happy there were no problems and she would see me in 6 months time and when I shut the door I was like what was all the fuss over?

I feel the same. I also hate that I do this. Very draining.

With me I find its the uncertainty over the results that upsets me rather than the test in itself but I make myself go and reassure myself that I would have to be very very unlucky for there to be something serious and most peoples tests are fine so it's more than likely I will be as well.

Totally get what you’re saying 💚 I’ve got tests in just over a week’s time and I’m already getting twitchy about it 🙄
