Looking through online forums and talking to self confessed vampires the symptoms I've been experiencing for over a year now seem pretty consistent with a vampire 'awakening'.
I've been diagnosed with depression, but as yet I've not reacted positively to any of counselling or the medications, despite trying four different ones of varying dosages. I've been tested for hypothyroidism, anemia and low blood pressure and sugar levels, but they are all normal. I'm extremely weak and tired in the day time, and take pleasure in being awake at night, when I am more pro-active and can get things done.
I hate being around other people, so much so that during the day I often keep my curtains closed to avoid seeing/hearing passers by. I've had an incredibly low appetite for a long while and often have to force myself to eat even though I don't want to, and I sometimes get cravings for raw/bloody meat.
My nails and hair have been growing much faster lately, wounds like cuts and scratches heal very quickly and bruises don't show up on my skin. Over the past year or two I've becomes incredibly sensitive to noise, touch, hearing and smell. I get overwhelmed very easily while in a group of people or in a noisy atmosphere. I can't stand strong smells and sensations. Sometimes my sense of feeling is so strong that I can't bare to be touched and the idea of physical contact repulses me.
So... yeah. Confused.
If you have any thoughts on this please let me know!
Managed to actually get some stuff done to day, only to realize that the plans I had for what I need to do tomorrow have to be put on hold due to Easter Friday... all the shops and everything in town will be shut -_-
Have two new essays to focus on, both with incredibly boring topics, plus making and packaging and hunting for stuff to stock my Etsy shop.
Still... small victories and all that.
My love left today, after a wonderful weekend together. Partings are bittersweet... but I will see him again as soon as I can.
I really fucking hate people. I mean I really hate them. They're so useless and stupid and ignorant and rude and insensitive to everything around them. Even nice people just end up saying and doing horrible things. I'm so tired of dealing with humans, can I just be a cat instead...
Wondering what 'vampire' really means. Is it genetic? A simple fetish or predisposition to liking blood? A supernatural power? A life choice?
It beats me down, like a hunger gnawing at my heart. Stones pressing down on my frail chest, claws hands grasping at my ankles and pulling me down into the dark.
I feel a thirst, a yearning for something that I can't quite explain. I want to feel whole again. Not like some desolate, hollow creature shrinking from the light of day, brooding and starving myself for lack of stimulation and crippling lethargy.
Someone wake me up.
I can't remember where I read it, but I remember hearing that limbal rings were linked in some way to vampirism, though I'm unconvinced that it's true.
I can't deny they are very beautiful to look at, and apparently are perceived as attractive as they fade with age and thus are a sign of youth.
I have limbal rings around my irises, I'd be curious to know if that means anything...

I am not convinced it is exclusively a vampire trait.
Limbal rings appear in people with a young physical age,meaning that your body is at a equilibrium of growth and destruction.They`re usually a marker of health and strength.
