Does Blood In Urine Suggest UTI?

I have been under extreme stress, drinking excessively and taking large amounts of excederine and a little xanex. I stopped doing that, I'm not addicted, this isn't typical behavior for me. Just very bad economic times. I've stopped this coping cycle because when I urniate, there is a little blood when I wipe. My stomach doesn't hurt. It doesn't burn when I pee. Have I caused an ulcer to myself or have a urinary track infection?
