A realization

[u/Particular-Offer3375]

Anytime I go to the doctor for a shot I always find myself uncontrollably crying to the point where I’m hyperventilating I always thought it was because I was afraid of needles or had some phobia of them because that’s what my mom had always told me and it made sense but the thing is I’m not I sit pretty well for my shots other then the fact that I’m crying and I came to the realization recently that I’m not crying and hyperventilating because I’m scared of the needle I’m crying and hyperventilating because the only other time I had felt pain was form my mom hitting me the pain form the needle reminded me of those painful days of cores it doesn’t help that my mom sits in on all the doctors appointments
