Becoming less afraid of blood?

Indrid ColdIndrid Cold Posts: 16,688 Skive's The Limit
Stupid question probably, but I have a big problem with bleeding. Apparently my view on how much blood is much and how much is little is off, so I get scared by an amount that doesn't worry others at all.
Lately I've had a surgery wound that's still healing and when I go to the toilet it often bleeds. It ranges from enough to dye one edge of toilet paper to making one or two pieces entirely red. The doctors aren't worried about that but it makes me really scared to go to the toilet.
Is there something I can do to, I don't know, get to terms with it?

    If that's the only way, then I guess in a few months I'll (hopefully) be fine. I'll just have to fear the toilet in the meanwhile, heh...
