I mentioned to someone that I couldn't donate blood and they looked at me with disgust, like I must have some horrible morality problem that gave me a gross illness. Really, like I was completely untouchable. It was weird that they lept to the conclusion that I must have done something wrong and there was something wrong hiding inside of me.

Not just a combo of issues including anemia, low blood pressure, and my body goes into shock from donating sometimes. (I used to donate regularly but I started breaking out in hives after donating, so I had to stop.)
