“Pooping blood?”
I’ve been pooping blood clots, it’s a lot of blood, it’s dark and mucus-like. I don’t feel dizzy or anything but I’m just scared because every hour I poop a few blood clots. I don’t have insurance so I can’t go to the hospital but if things persist I think I have to. I just want to know if I should wait this out a few days or if I need to go immediately.

Rectal bleeding has many causes but if you are passing blood clots that needs to be checked out urgently.
Blood from the rectum should be evaluated to make sure it is not something more than hemorrhoids. Can you get insurance under your parents' plan?
