One time, it was snowing really bad at work. I worked like open to close that day (a pizza place) about 16 hours. I had to leave like 30 minutes before close because I went in the bathroom and one of the sores on by buttocks began bleeding out like you described. I went through an entire roll of industrial paper towels cleaning it up it was a nightmare. My manager kept knocking on the door asking if I was ok....they knew about my illness and I told him I was alright just having problems with my disease.

Once it was all cleaned up I went ahead and left and cleaned the snow off my car. My mom called right as I got in the car and I broke down crying to her about the illness. I was fed up and totally in despair.

My coworker was shocked as I was giving her a ride home. I had had like 10 months of sobriety from AA until that night. I knew the girl smoked and I asked if I could smoke with her at her place before I went home. I did and it really calmed me down out of the anxiety, frustration, and despair. It was like cleaning up a gunshot wound it was horrible.

I went home and soaked in a bath of baking soda with peroxide in the water and just relaxed. Then it was like it had never happened. It stopped bleeding and that was that.

So hang in there......its happened to me before and I was alright.....it just sucks

Love,
