Sounds like an epic douche, and you sound like a really trusting person.

Don't feel too bad - I've trusted people with way more than that. Like loaning money to a friend over and over, small amounts and somewhat larger amounts. Truthfully I knew he'd never pay me back even though he said he would each time and asked in manipulative ways. I just felt sorry for him because he is a super dysfunctional human.

My rule is never to lend money I can't afford to lose. That way no major harm done. Sounds like you just lost a bit of gas money - hope it isn't too big of a deal for your bank account.

30M here, I can relate to what you’re going through. I had a colonoscopy at 25, due to seeing blood when I wiped. I occasionally get light amounts of blood in my stool, usually due to stress or diet. The good news is the colon cancer is very rare at your age, but it’s still good to get checked. My family has a history of colon cancer so I’m probably going to have another one before I’m 40.

How red was the blood? If the blood was very “blood” colored you may have just ruptured a hemorrhoid. If it looked more like a mixture of blood and feces, it may be more serious.

Also, be prepared to pay a hefty price for the colonoscopy if it turns out to be negative. They usually aren’t covered until you’re over 50.

Step away from Dr Google and don't panic. It could be anything - they'll figure it out.

You could have IBD as others have mentioned (crohn's, colitis) - could be sooooo many different things. Just chill and get it looked after.

I'm by nature an extremely anxious person. CBT helped - catastrophizing is not your friend.

Good luck and hope it turns out to be something simple.

First off - what a douche - thanks for the money... yeah karma will bite his ass. But secondly and most importantly- there's a difference between stupid and kind hearted. You're a nice person who wanted to help out someone - no one is expecting to be conned for a few bucks on a dating app. Sorry this happened to you, but don't let one bottomfeeding catfish ruin your adventure to find the right fishy!! Good luck!!

Your FU was waiting to see a doctor, but you’re taking care of that now. Describe your stool besides the blood, is it liquid or hard solid? You might have cancer, but even if you do that doesn’t mean it’s fatal. You also might have Chrons disease, ulcerative colitis, or any other IBS. You also might have a parasite or ringworm. It could be lots of things, so don’t freak out right now.

Hey OP, you need to slow down and calm down. Last month you were contemplating suicide. Last week you were self harming. Now you are posting about getting drunk and doing drugs and trying to hook up. Either you are researching for a role on the “Kids” movie remake or you are going down a very dangerous path very early in your life. Take a step back and focus on school, only on school for awhile. Find someone to talk to if you need, your school should have a counselor

So maybe this is just me and my cyclic vomiting syndrome, but I have a serious question. How do you not throw up watching VR porn? With me I get way too dizzy to even watch people playing first person shooter games, so I definitely know to stay away, but I’m curious about how it effects people who don’t get super dizzy and sick like me.
