Blood Consumption

13% Normal

Seems this type of thing is getting kinda popular in today's little goth scene. It seems to me that people are just trying to get attention, or escape reality or something. If it's a little attention game, I say normal. If it's an actual physical thing, not just a mind game, I'd say not. As it is, I'm skipping, cause I don't know which it is.

I'd have to say that since she feels "foolish" about it, it'd be more along the lines of a secret life style than anything. See, now if she proposed it as "I think I am a vampire, I wear black, enjoy blood, and fear the light." That'd just be moronic and she'd be an attention seeker. Either way, I would have to say this is a tad abnormal, but not unheard of. Perhaps you've considered sanguinarians? Contact a knowledgeable one and perhaps they could answere some of your unanswered questions?

I myself am a blood drinker, however I wouldn't consider my self to be a "vampire". It really depends on the crave, if the craving is more of an arousing thing, then I would say "normal" in the respect that there are many people who find the taste of blood during passion to be arousing. However, you state that real food makes you sick to your stomach, which tells me that you're developing some kind of a psychological aversion to normal food. I would consider seeking a counselor (not a school counselor, they tend to get you into more trouble rather than help) and quite possibly a dietician. I do know that consuming a large amount of blood can make you rather sick. Depending on your consumption level, the blood may actually be what's making you sick.

Good luck to you.

I'm no expert but I do know there are people who believe they need to consume blood. There are some forums I found once looking for vampire stories, full of people who think they are a blood-drinking vampire or a psychic vampire or something. Like I said, I'm no expert. They did say that they crave blood and they were born with some kind of condition. Do a search and see if you can find it.

I'm going to say normal because I don't think there's anything wrong w/you. :)

May be you have an iron deficiancy? Cutting yourself isn't going to help that, so may be you need to try takeing some sort of iron supplement. couldnt hurt and may help.

I don't think it's normal, but it's nothing mental
Well it could be, I'm hearing voices in my head, and I crave blood a lot as well, and most food makes me sick

Dont drink anyone elses blood u might get AIDS or something but that is definatly weird. i can bvearly stand to see blood let alone drink it

It happens to me too...but It refuse to tell anyone and i don't know why it happens, I've had it my entire life but I try to ignore it.

I am an 18 yera old blood drinker and have been drinking since I was 12. I think that it is absolutly normal for people to drink blood, their is an actual disease that makes you do so. It isn't the blood itself but the iron in the blood, their are other reasons that someone would participate in drinking.

celiac disease may be able to cause it

The symptoms you described can be attributed to a very real disease called porphyria.

Coincidently, these symptoms could also be attributed to being a juvenile goth dork with too much spare time; so if you're a goth, there's room for suspicion there.

I suggest you seek a doctor's opinion as to which of the two you actually are. As for normalcy, I'll have to go with *nope*, that doesn't mean you don't have my sympathy.

Your playing with fire Kid, I too was a blood drinker, well only when having sex and it was just for the rush not the blood. I would have my girlfriend bite into my wrists while having sex and she would drink my blood and so would I. She never let me bite he though. Well anyway, you can catch aids, herpes, hepititus etc this way be very careful. and if you cant stop only drink from people you trust, treat it as unprotected sex. Be careful Vamps

I can relate to where you are coming from. Blood actually has many nutrients that supplement the body when food is not available. Although it's not a healthy process to carry on with over an extended period of time. If you do have an obsession with blood (as I also do), it's easy to develop a "craving" feeling after you have tasted it once. However, if you do have an affixation to the consumption of blood, the safest route to go would be to raise your own animals. This way you wouldn't have to worry about various diseases, and could look over their health on your own. And NEVER drink anything that you didn't kill yourself.

i dont think its it normal...

but who cares..

you should enjoy being different...

i also have a obsession that some ppl would fine strange.. death..
