Definition:
An abnormal and persistent fear of blood. Sufferers of this very common phobia dread the sight of their own blood, the sight of the blood of another person or an animal, and sometimes printed or filmed images of blood or even thoughts of blood. Blood may remind them of their own vulnerability to injury and of the eventuality of death.
Seeing it:
Meaning discomfort/flushing/sweating for no good reason/tears welling in my eyes
Continue seeing it:
Suffocating/Crying and I need to lie down/nausea
Don't ask me:
1. How do I handle my menstrual? May be I know the blood is not supposed to be kept inside my womb when the time is up.
2. How do I donate the blood? I closed my eyes, avoiding the needle poking through my skin.
3. How do I make myself signing up for organ donation? Because I just want to give a second chance for the least fortunate people.
The worst experiences with blood:
1. I nearly fainted in the biology class when my lab partners took my blood sample for experiments.
2. I cried throughout my first fish cutting and cleaning. Till today, I haven't tried to cook a fish myself.
3. My blood was not fully stopped when I climbed out out the blood donation bed. It started to drip when I was walking to get my drink.
What triggered me to write this:
Because I went to a dialysis center yesterday. Seeing a lot of patients, who sat there for hours just to let the machine filtering their blood. It was really horrifying for me! :'(
Ironically:
I donated 300cc yesterday.
