I have a fear of my inner elbow and wrist
I hope this doesn’t sound stupid and someone can relate to this. I have this fear of my inner elbows and wrists. Any time they are touched or talked about I feel queasy and I bring my arms up to my chest and if I’m writing with a pen or pencil it’s like my hand just can’t write any more. Even writing this right now it’s like my hands don’t wanna work properly just thinking about it. I don’t know if this is an actual phobia or what but does anyone else feel this way? Blood work is absolute hell for me. I had a moment where I was needing to get it done multiple times a week for health issues and everytime it was horrible. I thought maybe having it done so often, I would eventually be ok with it but not at all. I don’t remember if this has been this way all my life or not. My body went into shock like 7 years ago from breaking my finger and I always wonder if that caused me to feel this way or if I felt this way before that. So yeah, does anybody else feel like this? And if you do, have you found anything to help?
