it's not so bad c:

IT BETTER NOT BE
D':

Just dont look at it if it freaks you out. It's a little sting.

thing is i have massive anxiety so i'll be freaking out before i even go
ughhh

<:(

I donate plasma twice a week (well, I'm banned until next month), and have been for years now.
I get stuck with a big needle, in the same spot, all the time. Have hundreds of time now.
I don't even feel it anymore, unless some noob (lol) comes up and stabs me the wrong way (that is to say, in a lazy way).
I also get pricked on the finger before each stabbing donation.

Just make a fist as tight as you can. That will -usually- reduce some of the pain.
I find looking at the needle helps a tad bit, as you know exactly when you'll get stuck and can prepare for it.
Depending on the needle, just think of it as getting slapped on the arm, heh.
Sometimes, if you tap the area you're about to be stuck in, it will reduce the pain. Sometimes it makes it worse though.


Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try and post a journal when im back lol
