I have really severe needle phobia - vasovagal response, pass out, avoid doctors, "start crying at the sight of one of those chairs people sit in to receive injections" type severe. Has anybody had this or have any advice for what to do about this?

What is your guess as to why you're so afraid of them? Did something happen when you were young?

Yeah, look into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's going to be undesirable at first, but that's the point. I don't experience this, I've always liked watching as they do it. I think my passionate fascination about science might help, here.

Well look at it this way.. at least you will never become an IV drug user.. there are positives to this particular phobia.
