I need tips on a blood test thats coming up

Question

im a type 1 diabetic and being one i get to have a blood test every year its not that im afraid of needels ive had around 30000 shots but there is something about blood tests that bothers me, i guess its the feel ing of it being in me for so long so if you have any tips that would help me be calmer and not faint that would be awesome thx.

Answer 1

stay calm, don't think about it, don't watch it and it will be over before you know it.

Answer 2

This isn't guaranteed to work but it works for me when I start losing my bearings.

Breath slowly in you nose and out your mouth, in doing so try to visualize you separating from yourself and going somewhere else. In other words, try to mediate.

Answer 3

My sister is 36 and she hates getting her blood drawn too.  She has made this less traumatic by taking a small stuffed animal with her to hold while it's being done.  She closes her eyes, and concentrates on her teddy bear and she is able to endure it.  Or, you could take someone with you who can hold your hand.  Having someone there for moral support can be quite helpful at alleviating your anxiety.  

Answer 4

i dont know i hate them too.
