I think it’s an actual phobia, my earliest memory is being held down by some doctors as they drew my blood. I’m not sure what to do about it:
- Continue ignoring doctors
- Simply accept the panic attack and get a blood test
- Try to get prescribed a single benzo or attempt to self medicate with phenibut before the test
- Go to actual therapy and successfuly eliminate the phobia (is this even possible?)
Yeah after typing this out the choice is clear. I will go with number 1.
Depending on your PCP, they may be able to prescribe you benzos for your panic attacks. If they’re cool and you tell them that you have them semi-regularly (you don’t need to say that you have an exact cause) and that they are impacting your life in some way (school, work, etc.), then they should be comfortable with the prescription.
I mean I’ve got grams of phenibut already. I just want like five minutes out of reality while they root around in my elbow.
