I'm not a violent person, I feel emotion and am generally nice to be around. Yet, ever since I was young I had this weird 'fascination' with blood. I get this rush, an excited feeling, whenever I see it and truthfully it scares me sometimes.

I know in my heart that I would never hurt anyone from my family, not purposely, and I wouldn't harm anyone I know.
I sometimes find myself watching the public suicide videos on the internet, and I recall my brother telling me about one that "scarred him for life" but when I watched it I felt nothing towards it.
When I was younger I used to cut myself to see the blood, and when my parents took me to a psychiatrist she told them it was because I was sad. I wasn't sad, and I never did it to feel pain. I made sure the clean and bandage them as well as take pain medication. (And I don't do it anymore, fyi)

I often fantasize about things related to blood and watch many different shows which include psychotic people (who kill people ) yet somehow I relate to them. (Gotham 'Oswald Cobblepot', Hannibal 'Will Graham' etc..)
So is it normal to feel excited at the sight of blood?
