Question

how to get over hemophobia with no need to consult a doc or a physician?
i try to close my eyes but i always end up fainting

Answer 1

What is the underlying problem?

A trauma associated with an horrific event perhaps?
Or is the sight of blood a reminder of your vulnerability to injury?

If it's the first one it will be hard to overcome it. For the rest it's an easy fix.
Just educate yourself on the functions and nature of blood to the details. If you know exactly what blood is, what it consists of and why it's necessary you're more likely to minimize the emotional reaction towards blood. The more subjective you are in learning about blood, the easier it will be to remove the fear.

Answer 2

i try, but sometimes i get so scared i faint at the hospital door, just can't handle that B word.
i try to think about other things to distract myself, but ended up going in a coma. I would so consult a doc about it but too scared

Answer 3

You'll never get over it If you keep walking around the problem. You have to confront it in order to get rid of your fears. If you close your eyes, distract yourself etc, you're actually telling yourself that you should be scared even though there's nothing scary about blood at all. This works very contradictory.

Have you ever watched a documentary or read about blood and why you have it?

Answer 4

if i did i'll have a major break down and might end up in a coma again.
im already starting to feel it now. idk what to do.
sorry, my brain is shutting down slowly.

Answer 5

as i'm getting older i'm more able to control it, but still it controls me more

Answer 6

Imagine that blood is just a yellow liquid (the plasma).
It only ends up red because of the red blood cells. They carry oxygen through your body.
Try to read some articles about this subject. You'll see that there's nothing to be afraid of. When you're over it you'll laugh about how silly it was fearing such a normal thing.

This is an easy article: (no actual pictures of blood on this page)

Answer 9

Would you still faint if you thought of if as just water with some stuff dissolved in it?
