Hey hi, based on the symptoms and the picture, you are likely suffering from Periodontitis (gum disease). The bleeding and receding gums happen due to tartar buildup under the gum line
Next Steps
You need a professional Scaling and Root Planing (deep cleaning) immediately to stop the infection. Please consult a dentist for a physical exam to check the depth of the gum pockets.
Health Tips
Use a soft-bristled brush and do not skip brushing because of the bleeding. Saltwater rinses can help with the swelling for now.

Madam, as your teeth are crowded, it will be difficult to keep them clean at gumma level. Because of which the gums will be swollen and bleed
Next Steps
consult a dentist for scaling and polishing plus for the crowded teeth get orthodontic treatment or else with repeated gum infection the teeth will loose bone support and might start moving
