Needles?? Yuck, I am with you on that too. Don't like them at all. My son went for a major blood work on the 27 of October, and I just freaked. I couldn't look or console him. I was lucky his dad was there.....I felt so horrible. I'm just glad they can find a good spot for him. As I need a miracle when I have to have it done.  :-\ You're not alone

Tokens hang in their my mother is well into her 70's and never overcame her fear of water.  And as someone said learn with someone you trust and you can do it.  Now can anyone help me overcome my fear of needles.

Tokens You have already taken the biggest step in overcoming your fear of water. Most people never make an effort and you are well beyond the first step. Make sure you reward your self with a nice and very expensive Designer Swim Suit!!! You deserve it!!!  WTG!!! :D

tyvm Bams... I prayin to overcome this so this summer I can go to the beach or pool and join in with other friends and family that do swim instead of sittin and watchin.... for so many years (that i dont wanna say)  I always sat back and watch.

Besides...biggest motivator is my boyfriend can swim...and I dont wanna sit back with him or be limited to pool side activities or shallow water play... lol

He started us floatin first...then kickin.... then hand strokes.

Lesson was in 3 parts.

Well technically, it was more parts than that.  First thing was get your ears wet... omg... I hated that... oh man, I hated that...Ok I passed that.. then get your hair wet.  Last blow bubbles in the water thru your nose under water.  After that, he then taught us to float. 


Float kickin off the wall holdin his hand, kickin our feet.

Float kickin off the wall kickin now movin our arms-strokin.

Lastly... do both above alone w/o him touchin you.  That part...nearly caused me a heart attack... lmao

I will go again....but this time... I'm takin a valium!

I think the swimming thing is mostly mental.
lmao...uh.. it starts with the brain first to do anything, every thought forms in the brain first... so heck yeah I know its mental... <pee'n on myself laughin so hard>

My therapist would high 5 you on the "mental conclusion"...

I know I have mental issues when it comes to water.  A 5 yr old is braver than me.  I cant equate my fear with a 3 yr old... even a 3 yr old is not afraid of water.  I p' myself each time its my turn to do somethin in the water... thank God for clorine.  (yes...ewwwww)

OK. You stay in the shallow end then. You know they give kids these tablets to eat and when they pee in the pool it turns the water a different color.

I suggest that you try to learn with someone you trust. Just knowing someone you can trust is with you can help you feel a little more at ease and make the lessons easier. I would start with learning to float but what do I know. LOL

It's ok. We all make mistakes. :P

I think the swimming thing is mostly mental. I think your fear of water overcomes the physical ability to swim. Sorta like a paralyzed by fear thing. I'm not a good swimmer myself. I need a lifeguard in the
