Venephobia-fear of veins
Anybody got it? It seems like a very rare phobia, and I can't find many people on the internet that have it.
I did/do have a general fear of blood/shots/doctors, but I recently realized the bigger problem is veins. None of this is tied to a negative past experience; I believe I inherited the blood fear from my dad.
I have to go get my first blood test today, which of course comes from the veins in my inner arm. Tied to the whole vein thing is a fear of wrists, inner arm, and back of the knee areas, as they have obvious veins. I once passed out because a lady standing in front of me in church had veiny legs. Just reading about veins makes me feel like I'm going to be sick and faint.
Actually, this is my first time around the word. Thank you for educating us! :)
I can agree that most people don't like seeing veins on other places of the body.

I'll see what else I can gather and try not to hurl.

I have the exact same thing, i can't stand looking at veins or touching them and even thinking about them makes me feel sick :( I don't know where mine started but i feel like it could of been from having to have various blood tests but im not sure.
