   Periodic reminder to donate blood if you are able! We're all gonna die but you can prevent some suffering for other people.

     @aZa1905 the blood center needle is fairly gnarly, I'll give you that. Good phlebotomy helps though.

     @prettygood yeah problem is, that i get a major panic attack if i dont focus 200% on myself.

     + i most likeley faint

     And i can feel EVERYTHING (despite everyone who tells me otherwise).

     Needle piercing my skin, needle stuck in my arm (it burns like hell) and pulling the needle out.

     I can feel it and it hurts me like hell. I wish it was differently and i dont know why it is like that.

     So overall, yeah needles and Me won't be friends

     @aZa1905 I'm thankful I don't have that problem. I have to get blood work done multiple times per year, and I like donating blood. I don't even get lightheaded or anything from it.

     @aZa1905 @prettygood i'm not, funnily enough. I have a story that makes even nurses shiver. The penultimate time I got a blood analysis done, the nurse seemed to be inexperienced and when she stuck the needle in, she didn't find the vein, so she had to move the needle inside me to find it. I told this to the nurse at the health center I was in february and she shook her head in surprise lmao, my mom got uber pissed when she heard this too back then.

     @mischievoustomato @aZa1905 yeah that's amateur hour shit, and kinda squickish. The guy who did mine today was new, only 3 months on the job, but it was one of the gentlest I've had.

     > squickish
     what does this mean?
     
     Also, nice to hear. I just looked at my arm when she did it and thought "huh, that's odd" and just went back home

     @mischievoustomato @aZa1905 no that's more like a jolt or a jerk or something sudden. I'm trying to describe like, "pull your arms in to your body and get away from the thing" kinda reaction

     @prettygood then i'm just very unlucky or you are very lucky.

     Anyways, i always have huge respect for people that Sonate blood. But i'll gladly keep myself away from that.

     @mischievoustomato @aZa1905 @prettygood When I gave blood, something similar happened. She shoved it in too far or something and it was just very painful and no blood was coming out. Arm hurt for weeks.

     @prettygood 1 grillion %s ago i got handed an ad for some blood donation place (they also offer money in return so this doesn’t seem like much of donation) perhaps i could like actually go there sometime

     Dunno how safe that place is though.

     @kimapr a lot of blood centers will pay you for plasma, not for whole blood. I forget why exactly, but you could get gift cards and such for it. But yeah, I wouldn't go anywhere that even has a whiff of being skeevy.

     @prettygood It's not so much that i actually see anything wrong with them but that i have no idea how to tell. Distrust by default.
