As some of you may know, i freaked out last time i had to get my blood drawn. full blown panic attack and i passed out, it was seriously one of the worst experiences of my life. but yesterday, i had to go take my gd test and i didnt freak out or anything! im so proud of myself haha. i asked if i could lay down, i covered my eyes and bam! Done! i told the woman that i wanted a sticker..... because i did so good haha so i got a cinderella sticker xD

They always blow my vein in my right arm because it rolls. Then i get a softball sized bruise and people think I'm being abused. But the last time i got my blood drawn i forgot to tell the lady to do my left arm because my right is so messed up so she did my right arm and *bam* she did amazing! She got it the first try (which has never happened) and i didn't even bruise! I gave her a high five! Lol

I have the WORST veibs EVER! last time it took 6 attempts all different veins and they gave up. No blood. And I drink 4 ltrs of water a day so its not that. I was once ultrasounded on my arm to find a vein. I also get MASSIVE brusies. People think I'm being abused! No joked lol.

Aww lol. I can draw other peoples blood just fine but when it comes to getting mine drawn I almost always have a full blown anxiety attack.
