Hi, I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, this also includes health anxiety. For the past couple of years I've had different issues - gum problems, which turned out to be two infected teeth which I had removed; bladder issues which turned out to be cystitis, severe diarrhea which turned out to be the change of anti depressants I was on which has now been resolved. All caused me major worry and then relief when I found out what the issue was.
Now however there is something new and I can't help but worry about it, convincing myself that something is terribly wrong this time. My bowels have been normal since changing my anti depressants. However, last night I got home and felt the urge to go the loo, it was all normal but before I had an awful pain down below, just at the front. It eased after I had moved my bowels.
However this morning when I made my bed, I noticed spots of dark red/briwn on the white bedding, pin prick sized spots at the top of bottom sheet where I sit up when reading before lying down to go to sleep, also on the very edge of the quilt that hangs over the edge of the bed, a place I never touch. There has been nothing on my underwear, nothing in the toilet or on the toilet paper after I've wiped myself. I have checked my fingers for cuts, I do get eczema which bleeds sometimes but it is not bleeding at the moment. Nothing on my feet that is sore or bleeding. I have got two cats who I try to keep away from the bedroom but they do sometimes get in behind my back and lie on the bed, I have checked them and their litter tray, no signs of any blood there.
This is my spring/summer bedding that I got out the other day to put on the bed and I didn't notice anything then as I did wonder if it was something from last year that had escaped the wash and not come out.
Now I am really worried and convinced this blood has come from my behind and I have got some awful. I am perfectly fine now (apart from the worry), no trace of blood anywhere. Please help. I feel I am going crazy. Thank you.
