lol well honestly I can understand that, I've had that fear ever since I was a kid. I try really hard not to think about that though. Thankfully by the time I lay down I'm so tired I don't have to think about it. I'm sorry about your nightmares. D: I know how that is. I get them all the time when I'm sick or have a fever.
Last summer I had really bad nightmares and it was the same one every night for a month. I always woke up sweating and crying, it was pretty awful and graphic.
God, same here, lmao. I'm not sure why... I was never afraid of needles, or getting my blood drawn, but the fear of sicknesses, diseases, being on medication, pills, etc frightens me. Yeah, usually I get so tired that my body just plain shuts down, even if not for long. xD Wow... that does sound awful. T__T Did they eventually just stop, or was there something you did? I'd love to know. X_X
Glad I'm not the only one D: I hate being afraid. I was like that when I had to get my teeth pulled at the hospital. Worst thing? The nurses didn't listen to my doctor that I didn't need the IV they were going to give me- whatever he gave me was going to knock me out just fine. So basically I had too much medicine, and I didn't wake up until around 5 PM when I was supposed to wake up 2 hours* after taking the medicine (since I'd be done by then). My parents didn't think I was going to wake up. I was still out of it for the next day though.
OH GOD. That is an awful mistake of them to make.
I'm always afraid of a mistake happening to me, like I'm that one patient that's going to have a freak accident or something. For me though, I woke up and nothing happened except while I was out of it I spilled some secrets to my parents... ooops. ;P I also hate when they have a new nurse giving you a shot and they fuck it up... I understand they're learning, but not on me please!
Oh man I can't even imagine doing something like that. Anything with the eyes I just cannot deal D: It's a fear.
Yeah, I once had a small sliver of wood stuck in my eye (hilariously I was treated by Dr. Wood) that was irritating it, and he got frustrated and mad at me when I kept blinking when he told me not to.... SORRY BUT YOU'RE KINDA USING A TINY FORM OF PLIERS THAT BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE A NEEDLE GOING INTO MY EYE, I'M GONNA FREAK.
yeah, I first had the problem after Christmas about 3-4 years ago. what started it was the fact after Christmas my dad's dad was rushed to the hospital and he stayed in there for.. a month and a half. he was sent home with a hospital bed and that's when everything went downhill. they said he was getting better but I knew it was a lie, I stopped getting hungry so I just stopped eating completely. when he died before my 19th birthday (2 days before my birthday in fact) I just didn't care anymore. we had the service on my birthday idk i just couldn't handle it.
I did get over it but not until about 6 months later. I was eventually eating, but it was like maybe once or twice a day. Don't worry I don't mind XD Yeah they do, though in the end, as silly as it sounds, it was my boyfriend that helped me get over it and stop doing it to myself.
I was very close to being put in the hospital and once it got that bad I knew I had to knock it off.
Oh my gosh... I know it's not much, but I truly am sorry to hear about your Grand father, and on your birthday... sounds extremely rough and painful for you. I'm glad your boyfriend was there to support you at least, and that you broke the habit from the reality wake-up call. I can't even imagine what that's like, and it's no wonder you were that way for as long as you were... *hugs*
Yeah I lost around 10 lbs when it happened to me..
Ah, same here. I lost ten pounds and it really freaked me the hell out, lol. I haven't really gained it back, rather I'm remaining at one weight now, which is good. Then again, I haven't checked my weight in a week or so, so I should.
It sounds worse with you though so I can't even imagine what it's like. I just hope they can find what's wrong. Make sure they do all the tests, don't let them give you a "Well try this and if it doesn't work, come back and we'll do this or that." Tell them to do this or that now. That's what I did and in the end it cost us almost $800... BUT... I got better
I think it was worth it.
Yeah, when I went in the doctor didn't even test me, he gave me the medicine for what he thought it sounded like, and said I should see if it helps and if not to come back. But my thought is - why the fuck would I take something to see if it helps? Doesn't the wrong medication have the possibility of making it worse? Ah, well. Doctors orders so I did it. X_X
