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.

im 16 my craveing's for blood have just started its like if i was in the wood's with my mates i would think about it alot all my life i have like things related to vampires even when i didnt know about them because i was too younge i.e. bats,sharp knines

i also get this wierd thing were i see seomething like a vision like im pychic not like i can read your future i just see things that feel real fo ra split of a second but feels like it should of been longer its hard to exsplain

I too have a craving for blood, but I only want to feast on human blood. Not animal or any other living creature. Food is still alright for me, but thoughts in my head tell me that I want human blood. It's getting harder and harder to resist. I really need help. And forget those people saying it's a goth thing or that it just some Twilight or Tru Blood trend. This is real and it is hard to cope with. With the people I know, they can all be in danger.

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 know what you mean, I have tasted the blood of all the girls I've been with. The feel of it running thick, and warm over your tongue, the smell of it drying on skin. Probably one of the best things I've ever done is kiss with razor blades in my mouth

Dont be worried about it. It could just be a phase or something you really enjoy. I know the feeling. Blood craves hit me when i was 10 and ive been drinking blood since. I love the taste of human blood, the saltyness,the feeling, the texture. I respect you for being open and honest so dont feel foolish and dont let people tell you its sick and messed up because its not

i have the need to drink blood, and i do not know why. i get crabby if i dont drink it, and normal human food disgusts me. my friends notice the difference, and i have told some of them. i feel like no one understands me, and i am not joking. i have told my sister and she just gives me that stupid look. i cannot tell my parents.. i am scared of their reaction. this has been going on for quite some time, and i cant ignore it..

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

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..

I think its normal, and im sure everyone has got a cut before and licked it or something. Im the same as you. I dont think imma vampire or anything i just think i like the taste. haha (:
Blood is very interesting!

I licked my firends blood cause we liked to play vampire vs werewolf and I liked it. AN I feel the smae way sometimes food is icky, and I'm always so thirsty that I wonder. I drink like ten bottles of water everyday. I wake up at night to just drink. I also Can't sleep well at night.

i have been consuming for years. ignore all those comments about "you scare me" or stuff like that you dont need that. i have looked for an explaination for why i need to do it. so far it comes up as nothing. food is still needed for me i do crave food but i physically need blood cause my stomache cant handle not having it. when im sick i know that it makes me get over it. to me your normal. why we do it idk yet.

I have a similar problem but when I don't get blood I becom I'll. In my opinion it's normal. But if you act or have acted on it then it will only get worse. As a fellow blood craving...thing...I respect you and wish you luck.

it happens to me too, and some people I know so it isn't something that never happens

Vampire fetish is very normal for girls. It makes me actually lose respect for a lot of women because its the fairytale notion/fantasy of losing control of oneself to someone/something rather than taking control.
Much like why girls like horses, romance novels about falling in love with abusive men etc.
maybe this is all just a 'nice-guy' bitterness rant.

Yup normal and Im not a vampire I hate Twilight just the thrill and comedy of when someone dies and the blood squirts I do feel a tingle no joke. I mean i dont know what it is I just aaah you know wanna fuck the blood sort of use it as lubricant

Not normal at all. Hopefully you'll just get over it, but to me, craving to drink blood is more than a little weird...

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.

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

Regardless of what a lot of these (for want of a better term) 'haters' think, it is actually incredibly normal. It's a fairly rare side-effect from being anemic, I say fairly rare because it does not happen to every anemic though a fair number have been linked to it. It seems a psychological craving based on instinct, after all if you look back to early homanids we were all hunter-gatherers, basically your subconcsious mind is telling you you need more iron, and thanks to the amount of vampirism used in fantasy these days and the way our genes have been written from experience, our mind tells us that blood is high in iron and initiates a craving. Changing to a high iron diet or taking iron suppliments should help to alliviate these cavings but nothing is certain. For a bit more information regardng this craving being caused by an iron deficiency I recommend looking over this website: http://www.necronomi.com/users/akrieytaz/real/anemia.html
However, if this is of no use to you I then recommend this website: http://www.sanguinarius.org/vampire.shtml
Just remember to take this second one with a pinch of salt as it is more focused on the cravings being caused by actual vapirism, however just because I personally do not believe that vampires are real doesn't mean they aren't. Hope this helps

I first tried blood when I was about 9 years old. My friend fell badly and cut him arm, so I helped him up. Being the curious little *@(%- I was, I stayed behind everyone and cleaned my hands... by licking them. Ever since then Ive LOVED the taste of blood.

Im the same way I bite myself

Have had blood cravings for a while now, since I haven't had it in days. I'm at a pretty low point, considering watching Final Destination gets me hungry...

Im scared because this is happening to me also. I dont understand it and I certainly do not like the whole "vampire" deal. and its not that im not eating meat I pretty much eat half my body weight in meat everyday.. But just the sight of blood gets my throat dry and thinking about it makes me thirsty for a quench I cannot satisfy with water. Im scared and this has been going on for tooooooooo looonnnnngggg. D;

I know what you are going through. What I have done is to just fight through it. I spent years hating myself fro the cravings and the way I felt. I have also spent years refusing to drink because I hate the fact that I want it. And even though normal food makes you kind of sick, you can't stop eating. That's not healthy for you. You need to find things that make you less sick. Also, I found that high pulp orange juice can push cravings away for a bit. I also chew on metal but your dentist might get a bit cranky at you for that. I know mine does.

I crave animal blood, but sometimes i'll catch myself spacing out at my boyfriend's neck. I really need help cuz I feel insane. I mean food it fine, but i never get that full satisfaction. Please some one, really help me!!

Blood is very tasty but it has a little amount of nutrients.

Blood drinking is definitely something I believe exists. I had never thought of it and quite frankly would have said "that's f'd up" if someone told me... but I met this girl whom I liked and we started having sex... definitely not my first time having sex but for some very strange reason I craved her blood during sex... We stopped seeing each other after a few weeks but it hasn't happened again since then... So I always wondered if it was just her... or me?

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.

you probably wear that gay ass glitter too! Go eat some Dim Sum. its a chinese lunch food, and they served me some blood with tripe. pretty good shit. your still not normal though, unless you move to china.

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 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.

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.

you scare me...
