It seems odd to be peeved that someone's not going to stick needles in you, but I rang the blood donation people about my new drug, not wanting to waste the time going if they were going to nix it and was told that they don't want my blood because of my bipolar disorder.

Big question mark – I asked whether that meant that they generally wouldn't take blood from mad people and got a load of guffle in reply. But that's how it feels.

I'm pissed off. It may be unreasonable of me to be pissed off, but I am.

...I shall just stand quietly over here in the corner and feel ashamed that I've never donated blood at all due to completely irrational hatred of needles. I don't even know what my blood type is.

Every now and then I think I should suck it up and go donate, get over my phobia, but I haven't so far. (Though I'm probably not eligible either, having lived in Europe during the 80s and with a mother with frequent anaemia... or so I console myself.)
