But also, next time you see blood,
1. take breaths and think of something totally random.
or
2.call a friend. Friends are usually good at getting one's mind off of the pains of life.
or
3. Exercise It makes you feel so much better about yourself Even if it's just like a 15 minute walk.
or
4. (my favorite!) get a really calming song or even a really crazy song that you can listen to you to get your mind off of the blood

I eventually got over it..
But I would use an ultra-super tampon on your really heavy days and just have a ultra thin pad (for backup).
That way you won't have to see and blood at school and just change it right when you get home.

If you can't afford a therapist, or choose not to go, I'd still try to desensitize yourself. Depending on how much it bothers you, you might do something like take a red marker or something with red ink, and draw on a fresh pad or tampon. Or watch a cartoon with simulated blood, and then move onto something like Law & Order. Try not to rush it--too bad you can't delay your period.
