Injection phobia - any advice?

3. Oh, just make sure it's in a bright place with plenty of stuff to distract you.

If it's in your bottom, turn your foot on that side slightly inward to relax the muscle.

If they want to give it in your arm, tell them you'd prefer it in your bottom, it's a bigger muscle with fewer nerve endings and you won't be sore at all.

I'm not going to tell you to get over it, phobias just don't work that way. Focusing your attention elsewhere can help.

I started looking right at it when I was three. I found it hurt less if I watched. I don't have a phobia, though.
