What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
Do you get vaccine shots? My brother did not like them as a kid but has gotten better as an adult.
Yes, but I almost always start to hyperventilate and get a panic attack. When I got the 3rd Corona vaccine shot, I had to lie down because it started getting back before my eyes
I like that this one is common enough that the administering docs always ask in advance. At least here. I luckily never had issues with needles etc but its nice to be asked
