Anal bleeding: Thanks for being frank about your mental health. But despite that, you need to pay attention to anal/genital hygiene. Start with soap and water washing a couple times a day. If the problem persists, you'll need to be professionally examined. Slight bleeding might just be irritation from hygiene or a minor problem like yeast infection. But don't take the chance of missing something important.
