Vampirism & The Human Vampire: A Lifestyle Support Thread

So I've been abstaining for nearly a month now to help gather more varied data for an individual study we're doing
on this and I've never gone so long before. I've been nauseous nearly 24/7 and I've gotten to the point where I
can't think of anything I can eat comfortably.

I think possibly the worst part of this is feeling so guilty. I've been extremely unpleasant and unfun just because
I don't feel very well and of course no one understands why other than my boyfriend. Things like sex, etc. are
completely out of the question at this point and I mostly just want to be okay so I can stop feeling like an inconvenience.

Still, I think it's important to have a long period of time without feeding to use as a control. We're working with
a group that is interested in putting together a space where users can input data into the same fields that we
are so that hopefully in a year or so we can have some real group stats with a p-value and everything. razz

Will the results be anywhere for people to read? smile It sounds interesting.

Eventually. There is an organization that regularly publishes scientific data re: the vampire community and
we're hoping to get them to agree to help analyzing the data and everything and publishing the results, but
we're still just in a data collecting stage and it will probably be a long time before we have anything worth
reporting. But eventually I do want to have this available along with something similar comparing lab results. I already
know someone that's working on compiling similar information that's specifically examining digestive enzymes.

I'm hoping it helps provide some answers down the road.

Mmmm yes exactly.

Why on Earth would it be fun to become romantically obsessed with demon-possessed corpses that feed of the blood of the living?

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end”

Their definition of human vampirism does not entirely correlate to the traditional definition; it's a word chosen more so than a label taken up. Or didn't you read the OP?

Oh, I read it alright. I was merely asking a legit question I've had on my mind for a very long time.

I wouldn't use the word romantic or obsessed though. Their experiences with the condition or whatever you wish to term it, is hardly positive.

Original vampires were never positive in the first place and any romantic obsession with them is questionable.

Which supports my point with them not being positive or romantically obsessed.

Thought I'd bump this for those of you who have not registered for the directory. It will help you to network with other vampyres/donors/etc. in your area, so participation is encouraged. wink

agreed. it's good to know that people who talk about being "vampires" and "werewolves" are just trolls. there isn't anything serious about any of this stuff.

Just curious to know whether or not you read the first post or anything other than the title.

are you implying that the title is misleading or might indicate a troll thread, given your previous post?

No, rather that when people in this thread use the word "vampire" they generally don't mean what you think they mean.

then why use the word vampire?

Many of us don't but recognize that it's the most commonly used word used in reference to people that share our
condition and so are occasionally obligated to gather underneath it.

Doesn't that just mean you're closet obsessed? Honestly, I love vampires but would never see myself practicing vampirism. Whether you admit it or not you're clearly influenced by vampires.

I'm not sure I follow?

What I said was that, even though I prefer not to use the word "vampire", a lot of people that have the same experiences
that I have choose to use the word to refer to themselves, and so if I want find people like me, it is easier for me to sometimes
use the word even though I personally do not identify with it.

My condition has absolutely nothing to do with any like or dislike I have for the fictional vampire archetype.

I'm sure at some level I am being subconsciously influenced by that archetype but I am quite positive that it
is not the reason why I experience the physical issues that I experience and which are the reason (the only reason)
why I engage in blood-drinking. Thinking vampires are neato doesn't make you throw up.
