hey there.

i had a bad time last year - i would pass out blood when i went to the bathroom and also if i threw up. i spoke to a doctor about it (3 of them, in fact - 2 GPs and my pdoc) and no one ever raised the possibility of abuse (eta: even they all knew i was living in a household where domestic violence was quite common).

sometimes these things just happen because our bodies muck up.

my main concern is that you will go to a doctor. lie all you want. i never had to say what "caused" it - if i was asked, i would have honestly said "i don't know". and my doctors would have believed me.

i think it's important you get this checked out asap. please, please do go to a doctor. as i said - lie all you want, but please do make sure you get this checked out.
