You are overreaching to be honest.
If you really believe you are that ill then see your doctor. There is nothing more we can do

I had all the symptoms too. I had blood (bright red), stomach pains, narrow stools, mucus... and it was/is (since i still have it) all down to stress and constipation causing bleeding. I have no doubt the fear and worry are real (god knows i have those worries). But remember that plenty of non sinister things can cause said problems...
I feel better reading this.. how old are you if you don't mind me asking? If you're older than me and present those symptoms and don't have it then chances look good for me I guess?it's just the uncertainty and the fact that I may not truly know because I probably won't be referred to a colonoscopy
Well thanks for ignoring me

I read your message I just didn't know how to respond.. as I say you all think I'm overreacting and I think I'm not.
I mean I probably AM but it's just scary not knowing and I've told myself I shouldn't get too attached to things I enjoy anymore because I might die soon.. and I'm terrified of that. But everyone saying get help doesn't help, I know everyone is trying to help and I LOVE you all for that because you all care so much and if anyone ever wants to talk about their problems with me (I doubt they would) my inbox is always open, but the biggest help right now would be a colonoscopy
you are not going to die but i won't reply anymore

Please, I appreciate your replies. You're the mod! The fact that you're even talking to me is a huge honour.. I'm just scared and I'm in a really dark place right now. I'm so sorry if I've been rude but even if I wanted to get help it takes weeks to months to get an appointment with a therapist or counsellor here in the UK
No worries on age. 34 years old.
BTW, you need to listen to NMP - self checking will only make problems like bleeding worse (you would be surprised how easily a fingernail can damage things).
Talk to your doctor, and present your worries. They are trained to understand symptoms way better than any of us. And if you have a fissure or roids, they can generally tell there in the office, which will identify bleeding..
If they said it was a fissure, then there you go. Fissures, especially in times of stress, can have problems healing, so you can bleed on and off for months, especially if movements are too loose or bulky.
Other symptoms are even more tied to stress and or IBS.. As you get more stressed, digestive functions get messed up and cause all sorts of issues. When i am stressed, i have pain front and back, my movements change, appetite changes.. everything.
