That sucks. FWIW, if you're seeing "red" blood it's probably hemorrhoids (possibly internal as well as external) which have been caused by constipation because of increased anxiety. If you had bleeding ulcers, intestinal bleeding etc, it would look black, like coffee grounds.
If you're broke and homeless you can probably get freecare at your local hospital. They have reps you can talk to and find out if you qualify. Just call.
Sounds like hemorroids - scary, but not deadly. Go to the grocery store and get a bottle of witch hazel. It only costs a couple of dollars, and is well worth it. Fold up some toilet paper, soak it with the witch hazel and place gently over the effected area, and leave it there. It may tingle a little, but it soothes and also reduces bleeding. A friend of mine who's a nurse taught me that and it's one of the best favors anybody ever did me. i have hemorroids and i use it on a daily basis when needed. it makes a positive difference.
And to help things move, eat some dried fruit. Doesn't have to be prunes, any dried fruit will help.
