this is getting out of control

mason90

I suffer from a multitude of issues..bipolar, ocd depression and anxiety...I mostly worry about being purposely poked with a needle and ever dot I find on my body I think I sat on a needle or someone poked me.. does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I start CBT next week. Why do I have this fear of needles...(hiv) does a needle mark leave a scab?

CBT is a wonderful tool and should help with your fears. You would know if you have been poked with a needle and also it would not pass on HIV unless you were using it yourself for shooting up after someone else had. Hang in there till your CBT and I think you will be able to work through alot.
Good Luck
