I have been a Diabetic for the last 23 years. I have never been a fan of needles and things but I know I must to my injections. But I dream about every second night that I am trying to do my injection but I just can't do it. I get the needle near to the site and I just can't bring myself to do it. It plays on my mind when I'm trying to do my injections.
What is causing me to have this dream all the time? Is there anything I can do to work out whats making it occur and how I can maybe make it stop?
They don't stop me doing them, but sometimes I feel like its going to happen for real that I won't be able to do them. I try not to hesitate I tend just to get on with it.
I do tend to favour my right leg over my left when I do my ingections but I always move them aroud. But I will mention it to her, I am to see a Psychologist about a few things so I might mention this aswell.
I just find it rather bugging that its happening all the time.
believe it or not, i have a real phobia of needles - but i overcome that three times a year to go and donate blood (donation number 75 in a few weeks time)
I've hated needles as long as I can remember. Just ask nungate...pulled many a surgery/hospital down on a few occasions! I'd love to get over the fear. I don't mind much if I am in control of the needle...other people and I go to pieces!
