I dont have a fear of needles, never had a problem with them, but ive just got this phobia ofbits or componentsof my body being taken out or not in me.
Its very hard to explain, but things such as organ donership (taking your organs out of your body with permission), transplants and giving blood realy freak me out. Its the only thing that gets me scared realy, and its not like a panic scared its just a realy aweful uneasy feeling and i get cold and start shaking.
My girlfriend lays into me about it all the time because i look like a ghost when people talk about it heh.Its the only time she's seem me act that way but i just cant help it.

Very well done Phen, takes alot ofeffort to stand up and give, you got a good heart.
Can you give blood drunk? That would help alot.
