Is it normal that i like the taste of blood?

That’s not normal. I know what it’s like to self harm, as I do it a lot, so I won’t tell you to “just stop”, give you one of those crappy one liners, or give you a hotline number that can trace your location and give it to police. That kind of stuff always annoyed me and never helped me.

[It would be a great thing if you did stop though.]

But please, one fourth of a cup of blood for every bad day you have is NOT healthy and could potentially give you medical problems in the future. Especially since you are female and lose a lot of blood due to menstruation.

Try cutting your blood intake down? If you have a just a tad on good and bad days, I wouldn’t see it as that bad of a problem.

As for wanting to end your problem, seek therapy. I know it sounds cliche, but you can’t get professional help from strangers on the internet. Unfortunately, we can’t always be there for you, and there are lots of assholes on this site.

EDIT: If you find it hard to cut down the amount of blood you consume...
-Try distracting yourself. If you get the urges, get yourself some water, or whatever beverage you like and play a game, or listen to music, or do anything that would distract you. Do this for about ten to twenty minutes.
-Decrease the amount of blood you drink SLOWLY. It is very difficult to end a habit or addiction quickly.
-A very cliche answer, but vent about whatever’s bothering you in a journal. Talk to someone. You don’t HAVE to talk to a therapist, just someone you trust not to make a fuss about your venting.
-Try eating or something that tastes like blood instead of having large amounts of the real thing? Salty water isn’t far off. It’s got the taste, but not the texture.

Whatever thrills you. You could learn vein punctures and viola, you shall be able to shoot blood like you tapped a pipe.

You would love to hang out with phlebotomists.

I'm just talking. Like don't harm yourself!!!! Be serious!
Try painting with deep dark red paints? Get fake blood.

If you're very pale, feel like the sun will vaporize your sensitive skin, cannot stand the sight of crosses, abhor garlic, and have unusually pointy teeth, ummmmm, have you thought of relocating to Transylvania?

All I can say is that I'm fascinated by the sight of healthy blood in a healthy body that's alive and well.

me too, I cut myself and drink it.

I don't enjoy the metallic taste. As for if it's normal, obviously not. Stop if you care for yourself.

My boyfriend likes drinking blood as well, his ex got him into it, it's funny yo he wants to taste my blood but can't bring himself to cut me even though I've given him permission, it's pretty cute

You should get help ASAP

i bet you'd like semen just as much.

Sure, but I wouldn't hurt myself for such a dumb thing.

When I was a kid, I used to sharpen those flat lollipops on top so I could cut my lip open and suck the blood out. I would never actively try to bleed somewhere else or drink someone else's or anything, but you can't deny it tastes pretty good. it's both sweet and salty. It's just pretty nice.

Not sure. Only tried my own

I like it too but i dont fucking cut myself to get it, i just lick the injury.

Hey Count Dracula, how much blood do you drink at a time?

Blood tastes good but self harm is absolutely not normal and not ok. Seek help from someone you trust.
