Worried im dying is this blood in my stool or strawberries

Male, I do not drink or smoke, I am healthy weight, 27, I have runny stool lately due to extreme stress and loss in the family causing emotional trauma for me. I noticed when I went to the bathroom my stool had red specs and these specs "smear" like blood does when I checked. I had strawberries not yesterday but the day before and then again the day before that, but thats the only red food I've had lately and im worried it is blood since I've pooped a lot since then and im only just now seeing this red so surely ir cant be the strawberries. Do I need to see the er or am I ok? I have been having watery and runny stool from stress (why is it yellow?) And the few firm brown pieces of stool, i used a q tip to smash to see if it was bloody and when I did the stool had a lot of smearable red in it???

I can never be a paleontologist...are there other jobs within this field that are not that?

I am too old to become one (27), major math learning disabilities, homeschooled...my past is working again me so I know I cannot ever become one with my learning issues. So I've accepted it. However are there other, non paleontologist jobs within paleontology..? I.e..paleoartist...maybe working in a lab prepping fossils ? (How would one even get a lab job prepping fossils, and what is the name.of such jobs?). Thanks

▲ 31 r/Anxiety

Health anxiety is ruining my life. I just checked my pulse oximeter over 200 times in 30 minutes...

I am a male, 27, major hypocondria, no known health issues but I obsessively check my pulse, bp, and pulse ox...I checked my pulse ox literally over 200 times in 30 mins, if not more. When standing it is around 98% to 100%, but when I lay down it goes to 96%, to the 95% range and I am absolutely terrified over this, worrying I have some health or breathing issues and I am dying. People keep telling me it isnt too low but I keep obsessively checking it ...I keep thinking it drops lower when I do NOT check it so I just keep checking ir frantically non-stop worried sick I am going to miss a potential low drop in it..I have no idea how to even stop..please help..everytime im terrified by new symptoms...

Is it normal for your throat to burn when eating chocolate ?

I absolutely adore chocolate. I eat a ton of it, and something I notice a lot more often than not is that chocolate very often causes my throat to burn, like a sore throat but almost worse. Apparently this is not normal and people say I may be allergic. I have never gotten hives, never had trouble breathing, nothing, just the throat burning. It does not always happen (certain chocolates do it more) but it happens more often than it doesnt. Is this an allergy, should I stop eating it? It does it with plain chocolate too with no other ingredients as well :/

Terrified I am dying for real..hypocondriac..worried i have a blood clot.

I am a male, never smoked or drank, 27, no health issues aside from extreme health anxiety. I do not walk as often as I should, so blood clots are a worry. I got up from a movie a bit ago and noticed my upper thigh, at the side, hurt when walking and ONLY when walking. It felt like a pinch, pain about a 3. Not terrible but bc I have anxiety I got terrified. I looked at the area and idk if this has always been there or not but is this a blood clot sign here? And is the pain i feel a clot? I am 135lbs at 5'7 ..it feels more like a pinch w every walk more than a pain..it hurts a small bit but not extreme. Please help me. Is this mark a stretch marks or something serious? I was born female so I have chubby legs but im a trans guy so..

27 and worried I have heart failure

I have had air hunger since I was a child. I have anxiety. Ptsd. I cant even sit down at dinner without rocking nonstop back and forth from nerves and built up tension from years of stress and trauma. I do not smoke and never have. Never drank. I dont do drugs. I dont take any meds aside from Tylenol. I have a family history of high BP and heart failure, my mom had it. All my siblings on high BP meds. I am 5'7, 136lbs, active, lift weights. My only symptoms are air hunger that makes me yawn and gasp for air until I get a satisfying breath, I get one, the the cycle starts again. It can last hours or days, then stops. I often feel off balace and a faux sense of dizziness. No chest pains. Pulse usually 70-90, but more in the 100s when active or walking. My last BP reading at urgent care was 139/89, but last year when I checked my BP a ton at home, it always ranged around 117/84 or so. My pulse ox at home is always 99%/100%, but at urgent care it was 96%. I am a major hypocondriac And cant afford to see a doctor so im paranoid I'm dying despite having air hunger since I was just a kid (I remember being 12 having it, nobody ever took it seriously), I have panic attacks a lot. Im worried i have heart failure bc I had covid twice and people say that gives you it :(

Please help..the guilt is insane

I have bpd. I control it the best I can without meds/therapy, but it is hard. I NEVER split openly on anyone, but if it is over text, I will, to myself out loud when alone, say cruel things. Things like "I fucking hate you. I wish we never met" etc to handle the split when it happens, but i never voice these things to anyone I split on at all. But the fact I even say it at all out loud (alone. Nobody ever hears it), makes me feel so bad. It doesn't help that I have paranoia and worry this is somehow bring recorded or somehow proves im a bad person. Anyone else? Help. Basically I feel bad for saying mean things about ppl I love behind their back in frustration bc I do this instead of doing it to their face. I never mean it. I feel bad even though they never even hear it. My mind thinks the universe is somehow keeping track of it and ugh...

I wanna have bloodwork done eventually just to calm my nerves, but I am terrified it is going to show I have some deadly or serious issue. Or that I am low or high in something. I am geuineinly terrified and it makes me avoid it even more. I am scared something will be wrong with me in the results

I know all the sig codes. Do well w the meds. I can do it all, but not the math. I have the math learning disability. I cannot even grasp the basic math on the questions. I failed every single one even with a calculator. I am fucking upset.

April 15th my female, indoor, spayed cat began to puke. She did it daily up until today. We took her to the vet over and over. Bloodwork was perfect. Dental stuff fine. No kidney issues. Nothing wrong. She had an abcess on her belly from biting herself (no fleas but she was on flea meds to be safe anyway), the abcess got golf ball sized so she vet began to treat it. But the vomitting issue did not stop and it was unrelated to the abcess. She then last week started to lose weight. From 10lbs to 7lbs . Refused to eat yesterday so she went 24hrs without food. Took her back to the vet today to be put down. We tried nausea meds. They did not help. We tried everything we could and it didn't help. She was suffering. Wouldn't eat. The vet couldn't find what was wrong but cancer or bowel obstruction was suspected. Im sad. Was this the right choice. We tried for weeks, going to the vet over and over. She was puking nonstop daily. Then she stopped pooping and peeing/didn't eat..so we knew it was time for her own sake. Im worried we didn't try hard enough. I lost a cat to cancer in March. She was 17 :( she had a history of pica too

My cat is spayed, female, indoor, 11. She has slowly been declining despite good bloodwork. It started with a bump on her belly due to her biting herself (she has no fleas. On flea meds too. She has pica..eats her fur..fake plants..etc), the bump ended up becoming a nasty golf ball abcess and we got her on meds for it. Vet gave convenia. Did not lance it. Its been a week. It is less red but still big. Vet said they may do surgery. Cat has been vomitting daily since April 15th. Vets say nothing is wrong. Gave her cernia..it does nothing. She is now losing weight rapidly, won't eat at all today. Im so lost. Its my dad's cat, we are trying to decide what to do. Her bloodwork is good but clearly somethings very wrong. She is stressed very easily and taking her back to the vet seems to stress her even more but im gonna try and take her asap tomorrow. Is it time or..? She went from 10lbs to 7lbs in a week, she feels so boney. She sits hunched up a lot. Her teeth are ok.

I want a male body, so t, top surgery, bottom surgery if I get lucky. But the thing is..my mind..soul..I do not feel..a gender lately anymore. I am seriously wondering if im NB...idk how it works really or what im feeling even counts. I dont fit in w men, and especially not women. I feel out cast from both sides for various reasons. But I desire a male body, with male traits, but I want to be seen as..gender less if it makes sense??? Idk.. just need advice.
