I have a strange fear of Adam's Apples. It makes me sick to think of them bobbing up and down in a man's throat. The thought of touching one makes me queasy- I am constantly checking my own throat to make sure I don't have one.

I'm afraid of my fingernails being worn down and getting all bloody... like rubbing them against the pavement by accident when you are drawing with a really short piece of chalk. The thought of it makes me sick.

I have both Hemophobia (fear of blood) and Aichmophobia (fear of needles).

I cannot stand to watch surgeries on television or play videogames that involve any type of surgical process (my sister was going to buy a surgeon game for the Nintendo DS, and I was there with my mother and her, and I got a little bit sick to the stomach. I convinced my mom that it was 'inappropriate' for someone my sister's age, and my mother agreed. I was very, very joyous that I wouldn't have to endure hearing how fun it was to perform simulated surgeries). If cartoons ever have any blood, I'm okay with them because I know the blood is fake, but whenever I see blood in real life situations I become nauseous and have to look away. I try to avoid getting cuts because of the blood, especially when I'm using a razor to shave because the wound seems to 'bleed like the Nile River.' I also do not like using saws for fear that my fingers will be cut off and blood will splatter everywhere.

Getting shots at the doctor’s office is traumatizing for me. I shake violently, and begin to cry and protest even before the needle is in the room with me. Whenever anyone of my family mentions getting blood drawn, my palms get sweaty and I get very nervous. I have a shot coming up again soon (it's one of several shots needed to prevent something; I honestly have no clue what it is), and just thinking about it makes me tremble. It's like a count-down to death for me, waiting for the day the needle will be jammed into my arm again.

I remember a time that my dad had left the television on to a channel that was playing a show about a girl who had fallen into cactus patch, and it showed how they surgically removed the cactus needles. There she was, lying there bleeding all over with thousands of pointy cactus needles sticking out of her body, and I panicked. Another time, I came into the room where my family was watching a documentary on liposuctions, and on the television screen the doctors were showing the bloody masses of fat that had been removed from the patient, and I quickly turned away and exited the room.
