Title says it all
So I have a nice little story to tell. Recently, I haven't been feeling well in terms of energy, especially after school. I would just completely crash. My mom decided that it would be important to get bloodwork done just to make sure there were no underlying causes. I should mention that I have a phobia of needles inside me as well as seeing my own blood getting taken out.
When we arrived at the place for the procedure, I was really nervous. I was told to sit in a chair, and I saw the lady get the needle ready. Me being afraid, I turned my head and closed my eyes as I felt the needle enter my arm. Slowly, she filled her viles with my blood, and near the end, the area with the needle started to burn. She told me that we were done, and I felt the needle come out. I wasn't feeling too well and she told me to put my head down if I wanted to, and apparently, according to her and my mom, I passed out for a good 10 seconds... When I finally came to, I was really sweaty, nauseous and dizzy. It was the first time that I ever actually passed out, but after some cold towels were placed on my neck and I took a few sips of water I was back to normal. I have to admit, it was a weird experience.
Anyway, I hope the tests come back okay
