Trypanophobia

me going to give the needle

I have Trypanophobia...some of you know what it is and some of you have no idea what it is?
Well let me tell you what it is....It is an intense fear of Needles.
You are probably wondering how I got Trypanophobia?
Let me tell you how it all started....I was probably 7 years old when this happened it was a nice sunny day out. One of my friends asked me if i wanted to play outside at the dirt hill? I said yes so we went out to the dirt hill and started playing in the dirt. I saw a big concrete rock...to me it looked like a mountain so of course i went over and started climbing on it. My friend yelled to me and said "Hey Tiff be careful don't fall and hurt yourself." I said "don't worry i will be OK I'm great at climbing on things." Just as I finished saying that I slipped fell off the rock. My friend jumped off the dirt hill and came running over to me and said"Tiff are you OK"?
I said" Yes I'm fine it didn't hurt that much" My friend held out her hand and and helped me up off the ground. My knee hurt a little bit so i looked down at my knee and saw that i scraped open when i fell. I said "My knee is bleeding I better go home and get it all cleaned up than i will come back and keep play." my friend said "OK you better go and get that taking care of I will wait here for you". I walked home went into my mom's room and found her talking on the phone she looked at my knee and called my brother to clean it up and put some polysporin cream and a band aid on it. He did what she told him to do...I was up and running in no time I went back to the dirt hill and started playing with my friend again.
A couple days later my knee was giving me a lot of pain so i told my mom that my knee was hurting i showed her it she said"go show your dad that". I went over to my dad and showed him my knee he said"You must be allergic to what ever was put on your knee and it's infected now".
He told my mom to get a sowing needle and to come outside...he said"sit on the picnic table" so i did He told my mom to use the needle to open up my scrap and let out all the infection and get the felt over dirt and tiny rocks my brother left in it.
So my dad held me and my mom started opening up my scrap...It hurt so much that I was crying and screaming. I kept seeing the needle going into my skin every time she put it in i would let out a scream.
They got it all cleaned up and felt it open for a bit I was shaking for a while and said" Never want to look at another needle again".
Ever since that day i have been scared of needles....This last past year i have gotten so many needles I went to the dentist and found out that i had 6 cavities that need filling. That really surprised me because i take good care of my teeth i brush them a lot I have a little bit of an obsession i think. I went back and they filled three on the right side it was awful because i don't take freezing that well so i kept having to get the needle in my mouth.
Before i got the needle I was shaking my heart was beating really fast and load my hands where sweating i was a mess. When i got the first needle it hurt a lot I started to feel really lightheaded and felt like i was going to throw up. My first thought was I'm going to pass out I told them that i didn't feel well they said"take deep breaths and calm down". I tried to but it was not working i was just so scared I got though it without passing out! The second time i went back The same thing happened again they had to put so much freezing in my mouth that it stayed frozen the rest of the day.
I had to get stitches 3 times...The first time I was running in the bushes and tripped on barbwire and cut open my leg so that needed stitsches
The second time i jumped off one of are metal roofs and cut my arm on the corner.
The third time I was cutting carrots and missed the carrot and go my hand.
Than a few months ago i was having some health problems and need a blood test it was my first blood test and the nurse old me to lay down because I have fainted a couple times when getting needles.
Than at school i had to get some needles the first one i got i fainted and the nurses and my friend freaked out. It was so embarrassing I felt so dumb!
So I have had my share of needles for a long time. After getting all of those my fear of needles is slowly going away!
I got to give a needle a few months ago to my teachers son he's diabetic and has to take shots everyday. So my teacher and one of my really good friend where talking one day and my friend had the idea that i should try giving a needle because sometimes that takes away the fear. My friends daughter is becoming an LPN and she is scared of needles like me and since she has to give them her fear is going away. So my teacher said"you are giving you first needle on Saturday". did i mention that i want to be come an LPN when I'm older?

I just got a new camera it is a Canon Rebel eos xs I bought it to church on Saturday with me to show my friend. It was potluck and after everyone was done eat my teacher says its time to give the needle i forgot all about giving it!
We got up and went over to her son he showed me what to do...It was my turn I was shaking and felt sick!
I held the needle and put it into his arm it was so scary the seconds felt like minutes! I started to feel really hot and lightheaded my heart was beating hard i could hear it in my ear I felt like i was going to throw up!
As i was giving the needle my friend was taking pictures with my new camera!
After i was all done i was so pale and shaking bad everyone said"Wow i have never see Tiffany that pale before".
So my fear of needles is slowly going away!
I know someday i will fully get over it but till than I'm living with it!

Tea & Biscuits

I had a tea party today with myself...I made cheese biscuits and green tea.
The biscuits tasted amazing I did a really good job of them! I thought i would try green tea today too...It also tasted amazing!
I sat at the kitchen table looking out the window and sipping my tea...I was daydreaming about taking a trip for my 16Th birthday that's coming up soon here.
I want to do something special for it...I toke a bit of my cheese biscuit " Mmm...Yummy"

started thinking about how my summer is flying bye so fast before i know it i will be starting school...Yuck! I have been gone away from home so much this summer
just been doing a lot of camping...I'm planing on flying out to Kelowna in august if i get a good seat sale...I would be going to see my wonderful cousins there...The only problem is that i hate flying alone it is so scary!! I'm scared i will die in a plane crash!

Just as i was finishing my last sip of tea...A huge wave of tiredness hit me! "Wow where did that come from?" I just felt like going to bed...It was the weirdies thing ever!
I just sat there for a 30 more Min's just staring off into space!!
I was just letting time pass me by!

I'm Addicted...

OK so I have a CAFFEINE Addiction...It all started in the winter of 2008 with just a little sip of my sister in laws coffee...To my surprise it tasted pretty good I ended up drinking half her cup.
Every since that day I have been hooked on coffee...My mom was surprised when I told her that I loved coffee because when I was younger I hated everything about it!

This last past year that's when my addition really started happening. I would drink 7 cups of coffee a day! I just loved it so much I loved the rush of energy it gave me...it just woke me up and made me a happier person. I could not go a day without my coffee if i did i would get headaches and just feel tired! I started having problems with my heart I would get chest pains all the time...it turned out to be from my anxiety and i had a innocent heart murmur. All my doctors said Stay away from Coffee! Soon my friends, teachers, and parents said Stay away from coffee!!!

I did not want to hear them all telling me that! I loved my coffee and felt awful without it...but everyone said to Stay away form it so I did...It was very hard to just stop drinking it like that...I had a hard time I would dream about drinking it and think all the time about it and I got a lot of headaches without my coffee. I tried so Hard to stop drinking some days i would slip and have one cup I would feel so guilty that i did it...It toke a long time to stop having so much coffee i cut back a lot and now I'm down to having 1 cup a week...From Tim Horton's I have a XL all the time well at least when i get the chance too...The important thing is that now i don't depend on it all the time i can go days with out my coffee and still be a happy person.

Sometimes tears have to fall...

In life we all feel pain...Some of us feel more pain than others...Sometimes the pain can get so bad that we don't even know how to cope anymore and start using things to help take the pain away.

Those things can be:

Drugs, Alcohol, sex, Self harm and even suicide..if the pain is that bad

I have felt a great amount of pain...My way of coping was not so good I became very depressed and slept all day long and did not eat much. The pain felt like to much I cried and felt many things...I just wanted to feel happy again I started looking for things to take the pain away...I found that sleeping helped alot because I was happy in my sleep. But when I was awake I felt so sad that I would go numb all over that's how much pain I felt. I would get so scared that I would cut myself to make sure I still felt something...It did not feel that good so I stopped and started looking for safer healthier ways to cope with my pain. I started praying and taking to people about how I felt and soon things started to get better but I still had a hard time with depression and anxiety I would have panic attacks at school and in my sleep. So one of my really good Friends helped me talk to my mom we told my mom that I needed help with the depression and anxiety. She said that she knew I needed help with it so she said i could go see a doctor. I went and saw my doctor he didn't want to give me anything so he sent me to a special doctor and she gave me meds to help with my feelings....Things are really going good now I'm doing pretty good sometimes i still have panic attacks and feel sad but i can control it now.

I have healthy ways of coping with my feelings now I use running as a way of coping it is a great way to just let everything go and just think and feel free.

I don't cry much It is just the way i am...But sometimes tears have to fall it is health to cry!!

Just some thoughts

I have been thinking alot about my new school year.

I'm going into the tenth grade and entering a new school it's going to be a huge change for me. I have been going to a small Adventist school since i was in kindergarten. It has been a wonderful school for me I have had the chance to learn about God and of course the normal boring school stuff. I love how everyone gets along and how the teachers Love the kids and want what's best for them. I have many good Friends there that I have to leave behind but I'm going back to visit them when ever I have the chance. The school only had 35 students and only 3 teachers so that's pretty small.

I'm going to a school with 435 students and well I don't know how many teachers?

It's a pretty big school it's going to be hard making new friends and getting used to a new place. I will feel out of place and lost but I will do my best to stay strong and keep my head up. I only know 2 kids that go to that school. One is my best friend that went to the Adventist school with me and the other is a boy that also used to go to the same school as me.

High school can be hard and can be a very big change for some. It will be for me I'm pretty scared about going! It will be very stressful with all the homework you get I'm not a fan of homework and will never be!

I'm also a bit happy to be going to high school

there are many cool things you get to do in high school like all the sports you get to do! I love sports and being active so that's a plus! They said there is a cross country running team I love to run it is one of my most favorite things to do! So I'm Very happy about that!!

I can also get Tim Horton's cards if the principle See's me picking up garbage around the school so that also makes me very happy! I Love Coffee I could drink it all day long but that would not be to healthy!

I guess there are Good's and Bad's about going to high school all I can say is Stay Strong keep your head up and Smile!
