Is there such a thing as over feeding on someone's energy? Can it be a chronic thing, as when someone gets addicted to feeding on energy and they don't realize when they do it any more?

It's possible...like when it becomes an all-consuming addiction, where the want overrides the need?

Very possible, to overfeed, to endulge on the energy of others to the point where it is an addiction one can not turn away from.

Over feeding on someones energy is entirely possible and unhealthy for both parties

I do not believe a vampire can over feed, yet it may lead to mindless bloodlust and violence.

It is when you drain them to depression.

Energy enduced cavities? Owey!

Might give you a headache though ;)

i think there is take what u need and no more if u get too much it could make you sick

Ok...I ain't a vamp so school me something...how do ya know when you've had enough??

Of course you can overfeed on somebodies' energy! It can be very dangerous for the person you are feeding on. You could make them pass out or get sick due to weakening their body.

My best friend sifoned me to the point I almost passed out - it was pretty unerving. We have made sure not to repeat the situation. You yourself can also get ill from feeding and even take on the other person's traits (emotions, etc...) If you do not take the extra measure of grounding an neutralizing the energy you are taking in.

I agree that you can overfeed. Some people just keep taking for the sheer thrill of it. Not realizing that not only are they hurting themselves but also the person they are feeding from.

i think the question is: how do you know what is enough and what is too much?

i've personally never had "too much" but have known people who have and they say it's not a pleasant feeling.

Is there someone who HAS taken too much? How would someone know that they have "overindulged?"

haha, true. well, it isn't really vampiric to have too much so would the question be, is it possible to be vampiric and feed too much?

I think it is possible to over feed, which can lead to two things either the donor gets so drained out he or she get sick, weak and needing to restaure his or her energy.

As for the feeder well it can do either make you sick or all upside down resulting in sickness.

Kind of like over eating at a buffet

yes, i would think that to much could make oine sick possibly if they do not ground themselves

I may feed differently but I feed as much as I can get, And too much has never been enough. Yes one can be drained so bad they they do get sick and weak but what is feeding my way??? I always clean my plate.

LOL I agree. LOL In the years I have feed off of the energy of life, I have yet to consume too much that I became ill. Though I will admit to a time of addiction and driven hunger where it overpowered logical reasoning. But I have never become ill. More like a drug induced high. Its the crash afterwords that brings the discomfort. LOL As for knowing when to quit. It just takes time and error to determine the limits of each individual. >;]

Obsession and Addiction: It’s not unheard of for a vampire to get addicted to not only blood/energy, but the donor’s emotional qualities as well. If the vamp-donor relationship ends the vampire may experience withdrawal symptoms not unlike those experienced by a drug addict when they stop taking a drug. As a result the vampire can get obsessed with the donor.

Once vampires overload on energy, there can be a reversal of behavior patterns. They may become morose, silent, withdrawn and introverted.

I honestly think that one can feed too much but I do believe when your body or energy has had enough it will let you know by getting sick or something else. Over feeding be harmful to both parties as it has been said by several in here so far.

yes it is instead of being thankful an happy with what you have you go an look for more turning it into addiction an depending on it instead of making it last or sustain you.. you take what is precious for granted once you realize that .. then you know that you are a person who over feeds an will cause alot of problems honestly look around you i think it explains alot babe .. be thankful an happy instead of unsatiafied an pissed of like a kid in a candy store i used to tell you this an it took this long for you to finally question it

It is quite possible to over feed. It will make you violently ill. Probably hurt your doner also

hmmm. ok. i actually think it's easier to over feed on actual blood than on energy. the human stomach can only stand a pint, i think, of blood before the body becomes ill. has anyone ever reached that point?

i've never overfed on blood, mainly because i only need small amounts...
it is the energy that i actually overfeed on, i guess i can take that a lot easier without noticing x_X

i really need swans :(

Yes you can over feed . As for what is enough well that is up to the person feeding. If you feel the hunger pain vanish I would say you have feed enough.

hmmm,,,, i wonder if a person who is used to a lot of feeding suddenly stops for some reason, can they have withdrawl symptons?

If the were use to over feeding and then slowed down I believe that they would be hunger till there body became use to the new amount of energy they were taking in.

yeah. i imagine the body would be extremelly hungry till it got used to its own level of energy, especially if you feed on blood since it's so much more concentrated.

ummmm....swans?

i overfed on blood once and got really violently sick. it wasn't fun. but on energy i've never over fed. i guess it's because i don't really take a lot of energy from people. i don't even do it often. i'm pretty picky i'll only do it when the person has an excess of energy or when i'm severely down.

i only take blood in small amounts. i think i said that ;-P
i don't know why, but it is very easy for me to overfeed on energy.
as for swans, my mate is terrified that i'll do things. he's naturally insecure, but i had a long talk to him about it last night and i think i'll get him used to it soon.

is your mate vampiric? if not then at least he's understanding. and maybe you don't need to feed much because you naturally have a lot of energy. it's a possibility

he thinks he's getting early symptoms of changing. if you feed off of a specific person for long enough, do you think your aura will be passed off to them as well, thus changing them?

changing in a vampiric way, you mean? as in an awakening? i don't know about an aura being transmitted to the person but it could be a possibilty. i've known people that had symptoms of an early awakening from being around vampiric people. it could happen.

then yes, i believe he is awakening. he's affraid of it in a way, thinking he can't handle it. he says that he feels like his life is being complete now during the transformation.

its very normal to be scared during an awakening. some people get very scared, others don't get scared at all. it all depends on the person, i guess. as to the feeding aspect of it, just slowly walk him through it because it can be a little daunting the first time you do it yourself.

i think i read something about that before. i was completely fearless when i found out. but i am teaching him a basic code of ethics and teaching him basic grammar of things i'll refer to later in life lol. i feel like he's my student ;) well, in a way he is, seeing as how i'm his sire??? wow, it feels weird to say that hehe

lol that's pretty cool. have you shown him the vampire codex?

no, but i've heard of that. do you have a link i may be able to find it on?

Yes, it is possible. I've done it many times, and have had to ground the excess energy to balance myself.

I'm sure there is such a thing as doing so. If you over feed on someones energy I'm sure its the same thing as over eating. You'll get sick.

I have also caught myself feeding unexpectedly so maybe it is just natural when I think I am not trying to feed or wanting to feed but just naturally do it.

As far as the talk turned into feeding on blood, It seems that a pint in the stomach is as much if not more that it can handle.

from what ive been told you can actually kill them, i dont belive this i dont think there is a rule on how much one can possible want or how much would seem greedy

You can over feed and get sick, like any normal eating/ feeding way.. Do not be a energy glutton..

yes you can over feed, this could cause you many problems

very good idea to know your limits

yes,

if you feed to much especially off of one type of emotion you will overfeed and get sick.

like lets say you fed off of someone who was depressed and all the sudden you started feeling sad, well the more you drink the rougher it gets, the sadder you get its not fun lol

i think it more becomes second nature than an addiction, you know you can feed but it will get to the point where youll get a craving and automatically feed

of course overfeeding once can be horribly addicting

I find that overfeeding will set the base requirement for energy all the higher.

Eventually, one might even have to consider consuming entire worlds to satiate one's palette.

Maybe like an over indulgence of food or anything else?

When feeding if you take more than needed the swan or donor may also feel like they are abused and not trust you anymore this is also something you should think about.If you overindulge you could become dizzy,sick or get a headache too.These are just some thoughts .

I think you can over feed of a person when you take more then they can spare. if you begin to affect their energy level then you are taking to much. Most people have more then they need to survive but if you take from them to much you affect how they feel. Kinda like zapping someones strength.

I've heard of this,but in the end if the person was so addicted to feeding would it not hurt both the person their feeding from and their selfs?

It's possible to "over feed" on anything, heck you can drown yourself by drinking water.

When it comes to over feeding on energy I would imagine the effects to be, heightened anxiety, euphoria, tunnel vision, nausea, increased heart rate and other similar symptoms.

I do believe feeding on the same person for energy vamps has a damaging effect from the byproduct we produce especially a Kheperu caste. We need three sorts to complete a circuit if you will and endless energy feeds. With out that a snack on the train will make the victim fall asleep or sick and yourself will build with a by product, just like eating in the streets of Vietnam, you just hope it’s clean, and not surprised when your sick lol

I don't generally feed TOO much, but I've taken more than I needed on a number of occasions. I do it a lot when I'm angry and feeling aggressive. I've never taken it to the point of being sick (except when I fed on negative energy to help a friend), but I've gotten a slight high from it that wore off after a few minutes. Thus far, it hasn't been addicting.

over feeding can make you sick and cauyse problems later on down the road maybe a eating disorder

i am not sure on the whole idea of one overfeeding. to me there is always some out side force in nature that draws the power one takes from his or her donor. so i would think in order to keep ones self in a balance would be about the only way to keep one from feeling drained. but thats just my thoughts on the matter.

i thinks its possible. Does anyone know if you can actually die from feeding too much on one person, like in Queen of the dammed? or is that just another thing made up?

There is a point to were you have feed so much you feel sick and light headed.

I agree. Taking in too much of anything can have an adverse effect, whether it's energy, blood, or even just regular food. too much energy can have an effect like an oxygen high - feeling sick, lightheaded and dizzy. Not nice. And even worse for the one being drained :-)

What if it's not possible to control the 'energy feeding'?

We're talking about Energy here, right?

The person you over feed from would feel exhausted after that, physically and mentally.

SpellOnU -


We're talking, actually, about what would happen if someone over fed on energy.

I think it would be most dangerous when you feed too much from ONE INDIVIDUAL.
Probably overfeeding in general is just greed and less dangerous than the constant drainging of one person.

overfeeding on blood or psi energy i think can make one ill possibly even off ballanced i think it would have a negative effect on one who feeds for survival

over feeding in any capacity seems harmful.

to much power will fry anything

Over feeding of anything exist, over feeding of information and knowledge to our brain results in head pain, over feeding our ears with music ends up in pain in our ears, over feeding our eyes with light ends up in...you get the idea.

So overfeeding of energy is the same.

how do you feed on someones energy?

i believe they can over feed if it comes to hunger for days.

everything in moderation to much of a good thing can be bad

Yes you can over feed on energy. It can be dangerous to the person you are feeding from. Yes it can be addicting if you can not control yourself.

And yes you can be feeding on some one and not even know it until it's done. But if you have control over your craving for energy then that won't happen.

i have yet to do it and im constantly feeding off energy and ryu you know deshler im always feeding off of his since he has to much

i have never overfed on sang myself but i do think that is a possibility if one is being sloth while partaking from their donor,i would imagine being ill would have the effect of one needing to regergitate the sang along with other bial.

You can get addicted to anything mentally, but I'm not sure if you can get physically addicted to it. All in all, it's just important to pace yourself.

Yes mentally addicted but not physically.. I mean you can over feed cuz you really like what your feeding on but not addicted.

I don't think one can be addicted really.
but i know I do feed with certain people sometimes without realizing I am taking some of their energy.

I am not certain about becoming addicted to feeding off energy, I know that I can feed off of others energy and sometimes not realize that I am doing so. I would think that there is a line when over feeding is involved and not neccessarily(sp) addiction.

Too much of anything can have adverse effects. How much is too much varies by individual. In the case of energy you will likely deplete your donor before you overfeed, unless you feed from multiple donors at once or in succession.

Yes, you can feed too much. Although it may not effect you, it will, however, effect the person you are feeding from leaving them drained & very dizzy. I think you have to be one with your donor & know when enough is enough. And the donor should be able to tell you when to stop & you should respect that & stop.

I think that the only bad thing to come of over feeding, is becoming addicted.

I don't think you can get addicted from over feeding, can you? From anyone over eating there are more things like stomach pains that can result.

I hear it's like a "high" when one feeds from another too much so it becomes as an addiction which is really dangerous to the person not aware of it or how to protect themselves. I have felt something like that myself emotionally getting a "high" feeling, so I can understand that those who know how to control such energies may tend to overfeed.

there are people that become addicted to over eating normal food so why not blood or energy?

Would you mind explaining the food addiction part? I'm afraid I've never heard of it being possible.

Err, let me clarify. I know people can get addicted to food, but I've never heard of people getting addicted to food through over eating.

Given that addiction is a lack of control, I would say that which has been stated before. An addiction to psy-energy is plausible, as is the addiction to breathe, to eat and drink, etc. It takes a lot of willpower to overcome an addiction. It took me over a year to stave off caffeine. Thankfully I never continued smoking when I was a teen. My dad quit cold-turkey after having smoked for over 40 years of his life. Now that is dedication, but still the weakened state of his health due to the smoking made me realize I made a wise choice.

So an addiction to human energy might not be problematic to the one taking the energy, however, the victims might take the brunt of the effects of the drain.

there are some people that are compulsive over eaters, there is also a medical condition that can cause this where your body never tells you that you are full so you always feel like you are starving. The ones that get addicted psychologically to over eating usually do it in response to stress. In a lot of cases it takes the form of binge eating and not everyone that binges purges afterwards.

Compulsive eating and addiction are two different things. Just because someone over eats a lot doesn't make them addicted. Probably just have no self control.

Overfeeding does happen, especially when one side of the equation can't or will not shut off the flow of energy. My problem with sharing energy is that the person I share with the most often pulls on my energy threads all the time. There is no letup. The only time they're not feeding on me is when both of us are shielded tighter than Fort Knox, and even then the pull is still there. Even when my partner is sated and requires nothing more, he still pulls on m energy leaving me very weak a god portion of the time.

Oh, I most definitely think that one can get addicted to feeding off of others' energy. Look at movie stars and musicians. Do they not get addicted to feeding off the energy of their adoring public??? Look at the popular kids in school. Same thing. They get addicted to the good energy that comes to them from all the people that admire them.

Just my two cents. :)
