Black and tarry blood is a bad sign, as it means that the bowels have had time to remove water from the stool. This means that the blood likely occurred somewhere in your upper to middle GI tract. If it was from your upper GI tract, it would have to be a very large amount of flood to appear red in your stool, and you would probably have associated pain (ulcer, perforation, erosion).
If the bleeding was in the distal part of the GI tract, it would usually be bright red, and is more likely to be be a tear or hemorrhoid.
Everyone be careful out there, and don’t be embarrassed or shy about getting checked. Everybody poops (except OP now, I guess).

Best of luck OP, wishing you peace and happiness.
