How to deal with getting shots?

Asked by youngxxxhot about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

I have to get a um..some kind of Shot that Girls are required to get-meningitist. sad I am so freaked about it, and I keep crying. My mom told me I could get it on my butt instead of th muscle in my arm, because my arm's very sensitive. Would it hurt more...

in the arm? And if I have to get it in the arm, how do I prevent myself from tensing up, because I always do that and it makes it 50% worth. And I always look at the needle when they inject me!-I can't stop looking, cause I like to know WHEN it's going in me. To ease me, I'm taking my favorite stuffed animal with me. Please help. sad

hey!

I completley understand how yooh feel im terrified of injections but I'v had lots and I just trick myself into looking at something in the room to distract me, or my mom talks to me or if that doesn't seem to work, I think about what I want for dinner when I get out... lol that one works best for me. tehe hope this helped. x

Oh this is tricky. I'm not afraid of things like this...I actually think its amazing...buttt to help the situation, I would say sweety...do whats best for you. If you need your stuffed animal...BRING HIM...(or her lol) It's good to have comfort. If someone needs to hold your hand or something then it's ok. Try and trick urself if these things don't work anymore. Headphones or music could help too!
