Hi,
I’ve been following the posts on this forum for a while, but I’ve never written anything. My name is Sarah and I have had a fear of dentits and needles since childhood.
It hits me the hardest when I see the needle, but I feel the anxiety every day leading up to it. Sometimes I even pass out when I’m having blood drawn. It sounds silly, but I can’t control it. My husband is supportive and tries to reassure me, but I still feel ashamed of my fears.
I usually try to avoid the dentist, but that’s no longer possible. Next month I have an appointment and I’m terrified! I’ll have to go through so many tests that will probably involve needles.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else gone through this?\
Thank so much in advanced!
