Am I screwed?

Yeah, if you raise con you+l eventually get enough HHP to apply a leech.

Gaining Cons seems to get you both MHP and HHP. So eat pumpkins or wait for free gauze from the dude that posted inb4.

Thanks for the CON idea, I got two more HHP. Two more points and I think I can get away with leeches! Thanks for all the help!

Trying not to get distracted seems to be want I'm going to do. That what happens when you leave people unattended with ants.

Thorns in your feet and ants are going to wreck your HHP as a newbie. You should give some serious thought to accepting some bandages from a helpful neighbor and maybe even paying them back with some basic curiosities or food. Not only does it improve your relationship with your neighbors (People love trade partners and treat them a lot better than random people in the area) but you'll be at full health again in no time with just three bandages and first aid.
