Blood consumption

I'm a 17 year old female and am obsessed with blood (or so it seems). I feel foolish for being so "vampirish" as some would put it but it seems like I crave blood sometimes, and real food just makes me sick to my stomach. Is it normal?

      Ikr since I was young every time I would cut of scrape or anything else I would drink it. Like anyone else. But one day at gym when I was ten I hit my lip when I fell from my back tuck and busted my lip bad. So since then atleat once every two months I would crave blood. Once I slit my finger for it...it was weird

    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.

        I am a vampire , I regret every other comment or post I have ever made, the vampire and werewolf communities are in ruined by that disgraceful movie twilight. Now to add my real comment, you don't need help so much as you must change your ways, if you aren't a vampire then seek help, I won't bother telling you what to do unless you can give me 5 reasons why you think that you are a vampire, otherwise giving you a solution would be a waste of blood, the enabling of another poser, and a danger to you.

    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..

    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 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

    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

    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.

    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. :)

    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?

    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.

    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;

      That's how I was at first too. Even if you don't believe in/like the vampire deal, that is your best source for help because you will find advice from people who have been through this before. If it makes you feel better, don't think of vampire as they are in myths and legends. Think of the word vampire as a title to describe a set of symptoms you can't explain.

    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.

    This is really normal,vamp or not, but if you want to make human food seem less disgusting, try more iron. It doesnt work for everyone, but it does help a lot of people get over the nausating feeling eating normal food can give you. Iron supplements or liver(blehhhch!)kind of hold down the hunger so that when you eat normal food your stomach is not sitting there screaming "This is not what i want!!!!!!" it should also help if you drink blood substitutes, it works like a placebo, and can fill most of the nutrient gaps.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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'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.
