What is that? What was happening?

Trigger warning; bloody nasty.

Tonight I discovered that I pass out at the sight of my own blood.

So I cut my foot open tonight on my mirror. Just was walking around and sliced my foot. .

It didn’t really hurt? But the blood.. the instant I saw the amount of blood I was like passing out.

I was alone, and my foot was bleeding profusely.. gushing thick THICK blood all over the place so I’m like okay obviously I need to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

I couldn’t stop myself from passing out every 2 seconds and I was trying to hold the towel to my foot and apply pressure and things were not going good. It’s like I sunk into this place in my head, and my body was the one freaking out and I didn’t get why.

I had to breathe and focus on my heart rate and calm myself the fuck down and then the bleeding finally stopped. Well, it clotted all nasty looking.

I have my foot cleaned and wrapped tightly, I do not think I need stitches. Yes, for peace of mind I will be sending pictures to my doctor. He’s a family friend. It’s not hurting a lot nor is it bleeding a lot anymore so no reason for an ER visit.

But why couldn’t I stop passing out? Do you know how annoying that is? It was not like I was grossed out. I just couldn’t look at it. What the hell?
