    It should tell you on the giving blood website (which I've forgotten the URL for) whether or not you can give blood - well, it asks you various questions and when you give a certain answer it'll tell you can't igve blood.

    I can't give blood (again) due to having another cold. Is it possible for me to give blood even though I self harm?:confused:

    The website is: here
    I self harm and I can donate but I really dont know what there rules are. Might be best to drop them an email from the website and find out.

    I gave blood beginning of December.

    Now they want my platelets :nervous:

    Appointment tomorrow night at the hospital. Should be interesting.

    I've never given blood.

    Does this make me a bad person? I'm not a registered organ donor either. Hmm, one of these days I'll sort that out.

    Yes. It does :p

    I would have given blood before Christmas, but they wouldn't let me as i'd given it too recently before that. I'll be going back in the beginning of Feb when i am allowed - number 6 (i think :S)

    And i'm considering registering to be a bone marrow donor this time around as well.
