Tbh my phobia is so strong that even hearing the word "vasovagal" or "blood" makes me feel dizzy, but there's a lot of other stuff that makes me feel this way, but blood and needles are probably the worse
As a woman, i have no problem seeing blood or my own blood (period blood) but it is absolutely the wounds/cuts and body trauma that i have a unwanted phobia of. I'm currently studying to be a nurse and i have fainted at the sight of wounds (even just hematoma) since as young as i can remember (probably 9 years old the first time) over the years i managed to control a little bit how i faint and sometimes i am able to not pass out completely if i sit down and concentrate. I'm afraid it is gonna be a problem for me as a nurse but i'm trying my hardest to control it. I really don't want to faint but my body really force me too really hard unfortunately. How it works is that my body force me to literally shut down. It is very fascinating.
I’m in the same exact boat. I can see my own period blood just fine. But the sight of blood other than that freaks me out. If I were to get a nose bleed or anybody around me I would pass out. Wounds small or big make me sick. I’d love to be a nurse one day so I got into a medical setting to try to get comfortable with it and ease my way into it but it’s been happening since I was a kid and I don’t know how to overcome it..😢
@@milad6776 hi ! I have an update. I'm currently on my second year of nursing and not long ago i had to clean churgical wounds with things that had lots of bloods (i can't explain properly in english) and to my surprise nothing happened because i was concentrating on my technique and to do it perfectly. I didn't faint yet as a nursing student so i do actually believe it is possible to overcome it. Good luck !
Ultimately it's a fear of how you feel and not of blood and needles. We basically learned to associate the sight of blood with this negative feeling. I already get triggered just by the smell of disinfectants.
The word makes me feel queazy but seeing it on me makes me severely faint, on other people its just uncomfortable but i have no issue with nosebleeds for some reason
I really want to overcome this. Everyone in my family makes fun of me. They think that i overreact over any wound. But they never understand that how hard i try to refrain from fainting. I can control any major wound but this phobia is my biggest obstacle in my life .
actually I would encourage you to make fun of yourself with them. The fear is as strong as it's weakest link, so if imagine this fear to be like a big monster, laugh at it. Soon "the monster" understands that this does not scare you and it will move on.
One time i was at a street festivity in my area and i got wounded on my arm by a metal object but it was really tiny and would heal quickly and i thought nothing of it but as i was walking about 10 min after, i wasn't even thinking about my wound, my body decided to make me faint and i fell on the concrete. I'm not sure it was from the wound since i wasn't even phased by having one at all but since i have fainted about wounds before i assume it probably was. I find it fascinating how it is trully a condition that you do not control and isn't a mental illness. It is really a natural unconscious body reaction. Hope i can cure it in the future.
hemophobia (blood phobia) is weird. I'm a veteran gore horror movie watcher. I've watched horror movie characters get their heads cut off with realistic blood pooling everywhere and I only feel a bit dizzy. I've gotten so many cuts to the point I get one one in three days. But yesterday, when I saw my blood from a paper cut, I felt so nauseous I had to get dragged to the nurse and almost vomited and passed out.
I had this condition since I was a kid. I try my best not to get faint but it’s something I can’t control😭 there is no pain .. but when I see the bloood… I’m gone!
I had blood phobia it start when i was 10 years old at that time my father took me to butcher and i see that blood im imeditly freak out ever since then when i hear blood word or when i see blood my panick atack directly efect me
I've never fainted but have come extremely close. I did find something that stops all issues. Getting into a squat posture and just sitting like that for a sec. Negates all faint feels for me. I'm not effected by blood personally and I'm actually very okay with the sight of it but my body reacts as "Oh lawdy! TIMBEEEEER!" But the moment I squat the sight bothers me physically no more even when still in the presence of the trigger. (Large quantities are a trigger, a small cut or slight bleed is no problem.)
Squatting probably works in the same way as the applied tension technique that I mention in this video. It increases the blood pressure so prevents fainting.
@@TheAnxietyAttic I have no issue with blood it's self, but as you say in the video the more you avoid it the worse the reaction. I don't avoid blood really and my mental tolerance is very high for it but I still get the need to faint. Do you recommend that I take courses to try maybe remove the reaction?
@@tiredthoughts9962 Any therapist trained in CBT should be able to help you. Sometimes its the fear of fainting more than the fear of the blood itself that is the problem.
Does anyone feel weak when seeing or hearing about blood Edit okay the conclusion makes sense When I was younger I always had nose bleeds and my mom told me that if I lose too much blood I can faint thus trying to stop the blood before it got worse. I also found out that loss of too much blood = death so to me fear of blood = fear of death
Interesting about the predisposition piece. I have this and this past year I was outside securing a latter for my husband to work on a light. It was around 80/85 degrees and just standing there made me feel lightheaded. I told him I had to lie down and we went inside so I could drink water and cool off. Went back out for a little and the same thing happened again. Super frustrating. I know you can get the same response with being hot, but I'd love a way to end this response period. I'm a therapist myself and haven't found the results I'm looking for.
Yes it can be cured. You have to retrain the mind so that it does not have such a dramatic response which causes the surge and then sudden drop in blood pressure which causes fainting. This is done using systematic desensitisation which is commonly used in CBT and hypnotherapy. Unfortunately I no longer offer one on one therapy sessions. I just try to help people through my videos but there are plenty of good CBT therapists and hypnotherapists who can help you.
@@TheAnxietyAtticthank you for saying this. Throught the years of me fainting at wounds/cuts or even the thought of it i have realised i can kind of control myself not to faint completely by concentrating (i still am extremly dizzy but i don't pass out) and i really hope i can totally suppress my fainting because i want to be a nurse
I'm about to deliver a baby and thought I was over this but today I had to have my blood drawn 3 times and almost fainted 5 times. No fun, and I thought exposure would stress them out too but I guess it's the only thing I can do.
have it...before most reason blood test i was exposing my self with blood taking instruction videos on YT...and procedure went well without prodrome symptoms :)
Wait, u saying that it’s more about a fear of fainting did something to my phobia wtf, I actually went from about to faint from watching this video to feeling relieved even tho it hadn’t ended yet
Yeah i agree, because i think the central nucleus of the amygdala in males are bigger than females that's why females tend to feel fear more than males
😂😂😂😂 i sometime feel i am dying when i see blood . And i dont know i am laughing and i act strange when someone talk about blood i usually feel my brain stop working and i m hearing nothing.and it take sometime to get back normal
I can't stand the site of someone else's blood. If someone touched me and their bleeding I freak out. My own blood isn't to bad. Other people's fluids too like their spit or snot I can't stand. Or people's smells. Hell if somebody touches what I'm eating i can't eat it. Ill throw it away. I to a extend can watch blood in movies. Doesn't bother me as much. In person I can't be near it. I was working a job and this woman cut her hand. She was bleeding bad. She ask me to help i said no I can't. Please get away from me. I almost passed out.
I'm currently a 12th grader nd I wanna be a doctor I don't usually faint seeing blood but today I was watching a surgical video ndd I fainted. Idk whts happening bt I ssly wanna become a doctor so I want my fear to overcome.
I have it, my dad has it, my nephew's both have it and yet we never mentioned it to them as they grew up. Yet my sister is a nurse. Go figure....(side note) as I got older it's got less and I was even there for my kids birth.
Even the word makes me faint

So it was normal huh

Pray for me I have a blood test. 😭
My face instantly get pale and feels cold and heavy. Then dizziness comes and I will fall to the ground. I try so hard to fight it.

Do Female have a bigger Fear as Males
A study in India found that the prevalence of blood phobia and associated fainting in females was slightly more than double that of males
Yeah i agree, because i think the central nucleus of the amygdala in males are bigger than females that's why females tend to feel fear more than males

Thats really interesting and highlights the likely genetic component in vasovagal syncope.
I dont faint, my muscules just weaken
Yeap,i nedeed to stop the video 3 times to watch it
