Freaked out by my blood

61% Normal
9 Comments

I hate getting my period. Tampons always leak, I get uncomfortable cramps, and my underwear is always red. Whenever I go to change my tampon, I get light headed and freaked out by my blood. It's so unfortunate! One day I had just changed my tampon, and I went to math. I was shaking, and my arms felt weak. I couldn't even take notes. Has anyone ever felt like this? I hate blood! I can't even think about the blood in my veins. Does anyone ever feel this way?

Is It Normal?

    You have a blood phobia, a lot of people have similar fears.

    Unfortunately, many people have a phobia to blood. It's called "Hemophobia". No big deal.:)
    Normal.

    It's not the old blood that makes you sick. It's called TSS. Toxic shock Syndrome. It's caused by having foreign objects in your body for too long. It's rare but it happens.

    you need to change your tampons more often or get a "larger" size and wear a pad to catch any "overflow". you really need to learn how to control your monthlies and if you leave your tampon in for too long, you can actually get sick from the old blood being in you for too long. probably a good idea to talk to you mum about this to get some pointers. once to get the hang of it and you dont have anymore troubles or "leaks", you should be alright.
