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.

The combo of the little bench and the inner elbow gets me

Sounds like it’s the particulars of the ritual that get you. I assume then you don’t have an issue with vaccination injections?

I used to be a little uncomfortable with all injections but vaccinations are so routine I got over it.
