Want to donate blood but I'm to scared
| go with your friends or family, they can help you and give you support
| >>244821 I don't know which country you are but, I really think that the procedure is the same, they will check your pressure and do some exams, asks some questions, they always advice people to never go there without a good meal, they don't take too much blood 500Ml if memory serves me right, they will give something for you to eat later, ask for you not use the stairs and that's it. You most likely will not pass out, but you can bring a family member or a friend if you want.
| From my experience you'll feel a bit tired and woozy, but should be able to make your way home. Having some isotonic drink or some malt drink right after the thing helps a ton. Do /not/ get coffee after it tho, last time I did that I felt really awful all around. Once you get home, have a nice meal and sleep. Do good
| just smoke a blunt before u go so u will be chill
| Also do NOT drink alcohol until recovered.
| >>245194 or masterbate. I have vague memories of a green text where someone passed out whilst masterbating and their mum finding them passed out with cum on themselves.
| I get that. I get really woozy and lightheaded after I get blood work done, even if it's just a little.
| Red Cross has you hang around for about ten minutes eating cookies or snacks and some juice to help out.
| I feel you, g/u/rl. I'm terrified of needles, but last time I somehow got over it and, well, things didn't do well. passed out in the middle of it and they had to throw away the few they managed to collect. Then they explained to me that it was due to a sliiight (yeah right) panic attack. So the lesson here is to somehow organize yourself, set up a date and do everything that works for you to be calm and steady, asides from the medical requirements. If not, you'll end up like me.
| I recently went to blood centre myself, no big deal. I guess people who are afraid of needless or blood shouldn't go.
| I have mentioned it to my friends and my family yet they said "wow I'm so proud of you" and change the subject, maybe they think I won't actually do it?
I'm dirt poor and too fucking stupid to know what a isotonic or malt drink is (I'm assuming it's like a milkshake, Wich I won't be able to find in my city).
Also the nearest hospital that accept blood donation it's 1 or 2 miles away and would take me up to half a hour on bus, I fear I would drift off and wake up in bumfuck nowhere
| For now my go to play would be to go with a friend on a day where I can skip college and have him take care of me until I either get home or get better, I often feel bad when I have blood test so I'm assuming that I would feel as weak as a baby when they get half a liter out of me maybe I'm just overreacting tho.
Would be nice to go somewhere to eat something sweet, but Im pinching pennies so I won't be able to, guess buying some Oreos and eat them in house would have to do.
| Don't donate blood, don't feed the vampire global elites!
| >>195e72 heey OP! I actually volounteered for a blood center and im specialised for people's fears about blood donation hehe
If you're afraid of passing out, dont worry! The key thing is to not smoke or drink before giving blood, eating well and not having less then 50kg :} after you give blood you will be given water or food if u feel dizzy, there are special tehnical workers that make sure you feel okay (at least thats how it is in my home town and i live in a pretty shitty town)
| And dont forget, giving blood is healthy bcuz it stimulates your body to create new, fresh blood uwu
| They test things before taking your blood, to make sure the passing out thing won't happen. Plus, what if you're a universal doner, and you could save any blood type with what you have? Might as well go try it out.
| Take it out in small amounts?
| You can't donate blood, it's illegal for gay guys.
| Take care when you have to wake up. Once I did it, passed out and almost died when fell on my head agains a table.

| Not the needle or the bag filling itself but I'm afraid I would stumbled out of the hospital and pass out or pass out in the bus or anything like that really.
Help?
