That visit at the doctor's...

...See more *Could be triggering* Hi you, thanks for reading this ^^ I just wanted to share my story because maybe some people here have experienced similar things. So one summer day I went to the doctor's just one block away with my sister to get vaccinated. It was in the summer holidays at like 9 am. and we hadn't eaten yet because it was so close and we thought it wouldn't take long. But it did, we had to wait like 40 minutes and when we could finally go my sister was up first. We both didn't really have a big problems with needles and just getting vaccinated so it all went normal and then she stood back up and I sat down and they disinfected my arm when my sister in the corner of the room passed out, I saw everything. I was terrified something happend to her because she means a lot to me. She was fine, quikly got better and our dad came to pick us up. I felt pretty ok about that thing for the next months but in spring I had something that could've been a panic attack, idk. That was probably the worst night of my life so far, everything came flashing back and I had the feeling all over me and couldn't shake it off. Eversince I get extremly triggered by anything that has to do with that topic and I get that feeling of needles all over me multiple times a day and just developed (what I think is) a phobia that really makes me more scared in life. That happend to my sister multiple times now because she's underweight but she doesn't really seem to care. I don't really know if that counts as a thing to be here because it isn't even that bad but I didn't know where else to share this. Elsa
