I think I might have trypanophobia but I might also just be scared of needles (and blood lol). I can handle using my sewing needles and I.V. needles in my arm for long periods of time as long as I focus on something else or don't think about it but when I was getting my blood drawn I started to hyperventilate and beg for my mom to call my brother (My comfort person) before the nurse even put the needle in my arm. Mom has also tried to prick my finger once to test my blood sugar and I nearly cried. I'm terrified to get any part of my body pierced (Because of both blood and the needles). I also have to look away when I see needles in movies & shows (Not sewing needles?). Sorry for any possible spelling mistakes is late. I completely understand I may not have trypanophobia and I may just be scared of needles! Thank you for reading and possibly responding! 💜💜
