I think it's an actual phobia, my earliest memory is being held down by some doctors as they drew my blood. I'm not sure what to do about it:

  1. Continue ignoring doctors
  2. Simply accept the panic attack and get a blood test
  3. Try to get prescribed a single benzo or attempt to self medicate with phenibut before the test
  4. Go to actual therapy and successfuly eliminate the phobia (is this even possible?)

Yeah after typing this out the choice is clear. I will go with number 1.

I have really bad Aichmophobia and though I can manage it with most things, needles really drive me batty

Personally, I manage by dissociating wildly while staring away from the needle
