Then you have an anxiety problem, not a used needle problem.  If it only happens about labwork, that's a phobia.  If you have anxiety about a lot of things and not just this, then it's a different anxiety problem.  To deal with it, find a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety and enter into therapy so you can figure out perhaps why this makes you irrationally anxious and more importantly methods of how to stop this kind of thinking.

"I was thinking nurse ....returned to take my needle she accidentally take the other...."
That didn't happen so you need to forget about needle fears. The nurse knows how to do her job and you don't, so it is best to stop worrying and enjoy your life instead.
