    i couldn't donate blood because my veins on my right arm couldn't show to the donor carer. my left side showed some veins but it can't straighten out properly so they didn't take out blood from there. im a bit disappointed but oh well.
  • Sian321Sian321 Community Manager Posts: 3,654 Community Veteran
    ah @toffuna101 , I'm really sorry to hear that. I know you'd really wanted to donate. It's so, so natural to be feeling disappointed, and I hope you can give yourself a bit of space to breathe this evening and feel whatever you feel.

    We're here for you if you'd like to talk about it more.

    Aw I'm so sorry to hear that they couldn't find a vein in the end to do the blood donation. I can imagine how you must be feeling right now but the thought of wanting to do it counts though because I think it's still a fantastic thing you were going to do.
