I am female and 30 years old. I tend to get constipated often but I have never seen this much blood. It was actually dripping into the toilet and on the toilet paper. It was slightly painful during. My stomach is hurting right now very badly.

The bleeding and symptoms that you are describing sounds like you suffer from hemorrhoids. The frequency of hemorrhoids increases in those who are often constipated and strain with bowel movements. When hemorrhoids form it is due to blood vessels that are enlarged due to the increased pressures. They tend to bleed with the passage of large or hard stools. Internal hemorrhoids are usually painless in contrast to external hemorrhoids which are usually very painful.
Hemmorhoids usually do not cause stomach pain. If your stomach pain worsens or becomes unbearable and/or the bleeding continues, you should she a doctor right away.
I hope you feel better!

I just went back to the restroom and more blood came out, nothing else. Is that normal?

No. That is not normal. If you still feel that you are bleeding substantially you may need to visit your local ER. Hemorrhoids that continue to bleed fair amounts of blood are "packed" in the ER with gauze. This applies pressure to bleeding and "tamponades" or stops it and allows the area to clot. Unfortunately this is the only solution if you are still bleeding quite a bit. This and your stomach pain is a good reason to visit the ER if it continues.
