So yeah, I've been having some weird bloody discharge for about a month now with no end in sight. I've never had sex, I'm not on birth control, and I have no idea what's going on, but I'm getting really sick of this and I want it to stop. I can't go to a clinic because I'm scared to death and I don't know my insurance information and I just want someone to tell me what is going on. The possible things are so broad it's ridiculous and it's not helpful in the slightest. I'm willing to ask questions if it helps to determine what exactly is wrong with my body. God this is embarrassing.

Thanks much.

EDIT: I'm not feeling fatigued, I'm not in pain/cramping, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. I usually get my period every other month for 5-7 days and heavy for the first half, light on the last. I'm really drawing a blank.

I'm going to assume based on your not having sex and your periods being somewhat irregular that you're a teenager. Your body is still getting in the swing of things with having a period. This can still be true into your early 20's, if your body EVER gets in the swing of things. You might go your whole life with irregular periods, with intermittant spotting, with small amounts of blood in your normal discharge (which I think this is.)

There's no explaining it, there's no curing it, there's no being sure of why it's happening. Sad truth. The less you let it embarrass you, the better. There's nothing wrong with having a period, having vaginal discharge, it's all completely normal and happens to everybody.

I have personal reasons for really really disliking my feminine functions. Thanks for your answer and I'll keep it in mind. I just want to make sure I'm not dying or anything.

Ten-to-one odds (at least) that you're not dying. In fact, if you went to see a doctor about this, they'd probably just dismiss you as perfectly healthy.
If you really want to go without a period for whatever reason, you should look into birth control pills. They're the only way I know of to shut it down. There's a brand that lets you have a period once every three months, and it's just as safe as any other BC pill.

It's not so much as wanting to go without one as it is that I've had this mucus-y **** coming out of me for about a month nonstop. I don't want to take birth control as that is the exact opposite of where I want to go with hormones. I'd feel terrible.

Do you think your hormones are out of whack? Have you had tests done to confirm this?

Lol, censors.

I had tests about four years ago for my metabolism but I don't know if they tested for hormones. I get acne like nobody's business, I have a deep voice, and I have fast-growing body hair to the point of it being gross. It's anyone's guess by now.

Yeah, they would probably have checked some of your hormones but maybe not estrogen or progesterone.

Your symptoms line up with PCOS - not the blood in your discharge, but the ones you've just mentioned - you might want to have a chat with a gynecologist about it, or at least google it.

I recall them saying that all of my levels were fine and I'm scared of what they'd have me do if I were to have PCOS. Like, terrified.

Why don't you tell me some more about why you hate your period so much? You say the reasons are personal, but this is an anonymous internet site with people you'll never meet in real life, so if anywhere is safe, it's here.
And why are you so scared of what the doctors would recommend if you had PCOS? They can't MAKE you do anything, and there are plenty of reasonable treatments for PCOS - including specialized diet. You could actually get help and advice if you had a diagnosis, instead of having to be afraid of the possibilities.
