Way ahead of time!: Actually, it's not a bad idea for us all to plan for death if we mean living consciously w/ awareness and appreciation. But when you add anxiety and fear - you've made an error. You may have developed IBS (it's not too unusual w/ chronic anxiety). Consider both a psych eval, CBT therapy (great for anxiety) and a general physical exam w/ addt'l focus on GI tract. You've no threat to your life here.

Problem solve: If this has been going on for more than a couple of days. Call your doctor to get in to see them. The main thing with diarrhea is fluid loss. So hydrate well with water. No soft drinks or colas or any juices with a high amount of sugar. No fast food. Please see doc to explore- source of blood. If bright red, more likely just a hemorrhoid. Eaten any beets lately? Take care.
