Just took a shit, wiped, and there was blood on the toilet paper as well as some in my stool, is this something I should be seriously worried about? I've noticed a tiny bit of blood on the paper before when I dropped particularly big logs but nothing like this

Hemorrhoids. Stop straining so hard. If you can find something to put your legs on so that you're squatting, you won't put that kind of stress on your ass. If you begin to notice dark blood in the stool or an unusual foul smell, you'll want to see a doctor. An infected hemorrhoid can turn into an anal fissure.

I'll try to find a footstool or something like that and give it a shot, thanks for useful advice and not just memeposting about AIDS like half this site would

If it's bright red it's nothing, probably just your sphincter got a cut on it or you wiped too hard or something.
if its bright red I wouldn't be too concerned, keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening then go see a doctor
if you ever have stool the color of coffee grounds that's an indication of an intestinal bleed and very serious, you should go to a hospital right away if that ever happens

Go get it checked, blood in stool can be a sign of cancer, depending on your age and how often it happens, most likely it's hemorrhoids but you never know
