Just had my booster and really proud of myself

Hi everyone.

Don't want to share this with many people IRL as I'm embarrassed but I just had my booster at a walk in clinic. I suffer hugely from anxiety and especially queues. Each time I have had to leave the queue briefly but I managed to get my jab done and I'm so pleased. The staff were brilliant, and understanding. I couldn't get an appointment until early Jan so it was hanging over me before Christmas.

Just a handhold to all those in the same boat

Happy Christmas xx

Amazing, well done!! I have anxiety and needle phobia and have mine booked for 24th in the hopes it'll be less busy but I'm still dreading it 😞

You shouldn’t feel in the least bit embarrassed about having anxiety. You should feel bloody proud of yourself! Well done. FlowersCake

Well done. I had mine on Saturday and have generalised anxiety disorder. Enjoy your Christmas.

Well done you! Very proud of you.

Well done. I'm rubbish with needles and tend to fall over, but have got myself in for all three jabs this year. I'm giving myself a private pat on the back, even if it's pathetic.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/12/2021 13:25

What a lovely thread!
Well done op and everyone else who has managed it despite being scared Flowers

Tickly · 21/12/2021 13:29

Brilliant OP. Hope you enjoy your Xmas all the more for it being done.

JustJustWhy · 21/12/2021 13:34

Amazing stuff! Out of interest, what was worse, the anxiety beforehand or the actual injection?

shreddednips · 21/12/2021 13:36

This is a brilliant thread, congrats OP Thanks

trackand · 21/12/2021 13:36

Well done. I felt like this after my first two (not had booster get). I felt like a young child how pleased I was with myself

PJPatrol · 21/12/2021 13:46

Brilliant OP, well done 👍
I hope you've treated yourself to something nice.

Pensieve · 21/12/2021 13:48

Well done 👏

There’s a few threads from folk who have phobias that are preventing them getting a vax they want, so sure everyone reading will be pleased for you and also help them on their own journey.

FindingMeno · 21/12/2021 13:51

You should be proud.
You faced a fear for the good of others and that is admirable Flowers

VoyageInTheDark · 21/12/2021 13:52

Well done you! Treat yourself Xmas Smile

NoseringGirl · 21/12/2021 13:52

Well done! You should be really proud, I don't know you but I'm proud of you!
