None of that is going to help. I am just like you. Seriously the only thing you can do is know it's gonna happen. and just tell yourself, it wont last forever. hold on to the fact that you know it will take 5 minutes, that 5 minutes will suck but then your done.
nothing is going to relax you. I just live in pure hell until they are done... and then you don't have to feel that way anymore...
you can try to relax, but you know you wont... so just remember IT WONT LAST FOREVER.
think about the car ride home, because you know it's done, if you are in the car on the way home.

There are several things to understand. One is that the discomfort is temporary and with a goal of good health. The other is that there is nothing natural about putting a thin hollow tube of metal or plastic into your body for the purpose of delivering medicine. Your reaction is normal. You can overcome it.
Hang in there. You can do it. It won't hurt as much as you think.

Calm down. Don't look when the nurse gives it to you and don't look at the needle. And, by all means, don't move! You don't want the nurse to miss! I am a nurse and I can't stand to look when I get a shot or blood drawn, so I know how you feel.

Try not to think about it, put yourself in another place. Take deep breaths and it will be over before you know it. Its also good to have someone with you and talk to them as a distraction.
I hate shots to. This is what I do to get through them.

just think of it this way.... the moment of discomfort (hey no one LIKES shots right??) is going to be really outweighed by years of benefit........
I am not afraid of shots, but hey I dont particularly like them either. And for me, having my blood taken is less uncomfortable than having something put in me... i hate that.. :-/ euugh. but i know it will make me healthier or happpier and after the few seconds its over, I go on my merry way.

tell them to pinch your skin before givin it to you and have them talk to you, so you will not relize it was givin. Maybe hold somthing in your hand, so it can relax you. good luck hun.
