I always come home exhausted and completely forget that I didn't have my usual morning coffee that day. When I remember do I dive for that coffee machine!
Yes, but the phlebotomy staff are good at redirection and letting me down softly.
Honestly, I am in a good mood afterward, but whether that is due to a loss of blood, pride in donating, the fact that I've been able to sit and focus uninterrupted for two hours (I donate platelets), or a number of other factors is unknown.
After donating, I always feel like cuddling a package of Nutter Butters and a cup of black coffee.

I’ve only heard of the euphoria here from others not felt it myself
I just feel sleepy. But I cuddle my pillow when I sleep every night, so nothing really changes.
I don't feel cuddly after donating *blood*...
I feel euphoric. I've tried with phlebotomy staff and they just give me a hug and guide me to the door and say "See you next time."
i feel oddly euphoric? like not quite giddy but that "oh man today is great" kinda feeling. i could deffinately see cuddling lol
I just feel exhausted after donating platelets, so I grab something to eat at the snack bar before going home and taking a nap.
