What Causes Blood In Stool?

I was stuck in traffic this morning on my way to work when the urge to poop came on me. Soon my stomach was hurting and it was really hard to hold it in. After about 15 minutes I was able to get off the freeway and get to the nearest gas station. I noticed some pinkish blood on the toilet paper and all day today I feel a sort of pressure and I am leaking out pinkish blood. Also there is some bright red blood when I poop today. I have never had any problems before. Just today after having to hold it in. I am a 52 year old female.
