This is embarassing...weird diarrhea

So for the last day and a half I have had really gross diarrhea--it's still kind of formed but has floating mucus with red stuff (blood?) around it, and I'm really gassy (stinky!) and had to cancel plans tonight because I kept running to the toilet.

Why do you get diarrhea? Can it be from stress? I have been really really stressed these last 2 weeks.
Thank you!

some people can get diarrhoea from stress, for example if they suffer from irritable bowel syndrome.  if it goes away by itself in the next day or so then i wouldnt worry too much.
if you develop a fever or vomiting then you may have a case of infectious diarrhoea or food poisoning such as camylobacter.  If you notice any dark black blood i would go see your doctor straight away.  if you dont feel better or it doesnt go away or keeps coming back i'd get it checked out.
