It is very presumptuous for anyone to call someone wanting to be special. Being a vampiric does not make one special, just different but human all the same.
In the circles I’m involved in, most who feed from both ways are called hybrids but there are many names depending on what country or area you are from. When someone is depressed they generally feel lethargic but that isn’t really a lack of energy. It is a state of mind or it can be chemical. What most are talking about here has nothing to do with schizophrenia. That was what I wrote my paper on for Psychology in college and it is different. When you don’t feel like doing anything, are unmotivated it is felt as if one has a lack of energy but it’s not the same.
Actual energy deprivation can make someone very sick. Most have a survival mode and will draw in energy from many sources unconsciously. Most metaphysical groups will tell you this. Just the close proximity with individuals alone causes etheric bonds and energy exchanges. All do this but with the vampire it energizes them unlike someone else who would hardly notice. I’m a little allergic to most meats, vegetables, grains and fruits but I can eat most of them until it builds up on occasion and I get pains in my stomach or something like the flu. I have always believed it is like mundanes, one has a preference for certain things and a minority of vampirics are attracted to blood and have donors for that. Some psi vamps have donors as well but frankly I don’t think most who are psi use donors over all. It is more geared to the sanguinary vampire.
This is my opinion but no one will die from energy being drained by a psi. You might get really tired and need to sleep but that is about the extent of it. Some don’t even take that type of energy at all but from nature and things like that. Off the astral some say and many other ways. Energy is everywhere so there is a need for vampirics to learn to adapt accordingly. Of course all of us eat and that varies but the energy one gets from food, calories, aren’t always as affective as other sources. Vampires are human so they must eat food even if a lot of it doesn’t agree with them. It is a necessity.
It is unknown why some crave blood. Most used to say it was the energy in it but now they are saying no that isn’t it so essentially they don’t know but whatever it is, it makes them feel better and energized. If the person has a donor, because some order blood, there will be an energy exchange as well. I use to have a site where it showed energy exchanges and the energy radiating from the finger tips alone but I have forgotten where it is. I honestly think the depression isn’t caused by lack of energy but by the fact it is so difficult to feed for many in the community. We are thought of as having mental illness. The thing is, just as vampirics cannot prove what they say at this time, no one can disprove it either. In the end it is all anecdotal or pure opinion. There are those by the way that are chaotic and will stir up trouble to feed on negative energy or they will hang around people who have a tendency to argue and things like that.
There are thousands of people of all ages all over the world that believe themselves to be vampirics for numerous reasons. There are scientists, doctors, psychologists, University professors, and people with minimum wage jobs and all hold the same views for the most part about what they believe they are. The community has even thought of not using the word vampire because of all the outside pressures and people thinking they know it all and putting people down and assuming they want attention when most do not.
There is a good reason for many in the community to be depressed and not just from lack of feeding. Sometimes it is just what is going on in their life and misconstrued. Only the individual will know. For me it is more like anemia than depression, although I have never been anemic, but for others it is different.
