Do Psychic Vamps have to feed with blood?

that's what I've heard and read: they feed with emotions, actually with energy I would say..they're harmless except than the thing that the "victim" (if you could call them victims) might feel a little tired if they have dealt for a lot period of time with the vamp.. well recently, I've heard that they probably have the need to be fed with blood..theirs or other people's.. can anyone help me with this question now that I've clarified what I'm looking for?=/ *I'm not actually talking about the immortal or supernatural creatures we see on stupid hollywood movies, with power, strength, speed and all this stuff. What I've read is that psychic vamps are in a nutshell, people like all of us but with more need of energy.. @ Ana: what do you mean by "other diseases?" pLs explain further:) @ HappilyPagan: cool! I have a friend of mine who's a psy-vamp and I want to get to know some more things about the whole situation..they won't tell me many things anyway..can you tell me more things about what it's like to live with one of them..I want to learn everything about it!

1. They only feed on the energy of their victims and then they have a special psychic connection with their victims and the victims are also tired ;)
2. Psychic Vampiring is not related in any way with human blood consumption. It's only at an energetic level. Feeding with blood is related to other psychic problems and diseases.
3. they are people and some do feel the compelling need to use blood to help calm their cravings and their need for energy but from what ive seen and heard most of them just choose to try and go as long as possible without resorting to blood :)
4. vampires, both psychic and otherwise, DO NOT EXIST!
5. While there are some Psi-Sang vampires (Psi Vampire and Sanguine Vampire), they are usually one or the other. Auto Vampirism(drinking ones own blood) is said to have no effect except perhaps to help with sanguinary cravings and most Psi vamps don't do it at all. Though don't take my word for it, im with a vampire and am an occasional donor but that by no means makes me an expert. As always do your own research! I'll list some sites to start you off, but there is always more information out there. Happy hunting!
6. No such thing as a vampire. There are people who take from you everything. But that is more of a form of emotional abuse than being a vampire.
7. No for psychic vampires do not actually exist except in the mind of mankind..........................................
8. The term “psychic” or “energy vampire” simply means a person whose behavior is mentally tiring to others around them. It does not imply that a person can deliberately drain energy from another person to “resupply” their own. Any scientist will tell you that there is no way one human body can leech energy from another over any distance. Even static electricity can only jump a distance of millimeters between bodies. There are no real “psychic vampires”. It is nothing more than a self-induced, self-perpetuating delusion, and is classified as a delusion of grandeur, with overtones of the victim or martyr. “Psychic vampires” cannot drain anyone of anything – it is a autonomic response triggered by a biofeedback mechanism. They truly believe that they can do this, and believe it so strongly, that their bodies release a wave of adrenaline and endorphins, resulting in the “feel good high” they claim to feel, and the adrenaline boost is responsible for the physical “augmentation” of strength and speed some report. As with any high, they eventually come down, resulting in a period of feeling tired, sluggish, etc. until the next time they “feed” – which is a delusion, but their bodies release the endorphins anyway. Not understanding the actual way their bodies work, these people rationalize that they are therefore “psychic vampires” in order to feed their egos and bolster their sense of confidence and self-worth. They claim this “awakening” happens during puberty, and that they spontaneously develop a “lack of energy”. Funny how that coincides with teen angst, rebellion, searching for self, etc. and all the phases of the developing Id and Ego. As for their “donors”, once again the response these people report to a “feeding” is in line with a sympathetic response brought on by their delusion that they have been “fed upon”. A good analogy here is how some husbands report sympathetic labor pains when their wife is about to deliver. It is real to them, but the source is in their own bodies – not because they are empathetically “transferring” some of their wife’s pain to themselves. I encountered a self-professed “psychic vampire” in the hospital during my clinicals. He had wrecked an ATV, and his leg was broken in multiple places. He claimed he was “taking energy” from everyone around him in order to heal faster, and that when I got home I would probably be “really tired”. I went home after eight hours, went out and did 7 miles on my kayak, and bicycled 6. Slept normally, and woke up well rested. As for him, he attempted soon thereafter to get up and go to the restroom by himself because he was “healed” well enough. The idiot rebroke his femur as soon as he put weight on it. He eventually did make it home, but friends of mine on that floor said it took him longer to heal than normal. The human body only generates three quantifiable forms of energy: 1. Neurological (electrical brain and nerve signals) which travels along nervous pathways insulated in deep tissue. If this is the energy “psi” vamps claim to use, then their “victims” would collapse in a manner similiar to a neurological stroke as the electrical pulses were drained. In all likelihood they would die, because these signals also control autonomic responses such as the breathing reflex and your heartbeat. If this is the energy they claim to need, why not just carry around a few D-cell batteries? Which wouldn’t work anyway – the body is not a battery that stores electrical energy in that sense. 2. Electromagnetic, generated in tandem with your neurological output. Every living thing has an EM field. The idea that you could “drain” or feed from it is ridiculous. All EM fields are in constant flux. So-called “psi” vampires point to Kirlian photography, which is EM sensitive, as proof that draining can occur. All EM fields interact and are in constant change. Regardless of what anyone tells you, Kirlian cannot provide scientific, empirical data. If this is the energy they need, it would be easier to carry around several magnets, as their fields will overlap yours and strengthen it. 3. Caloric, or heat energy. If this energy is what the vampires need, then a draining would leave you cold and shivering, and probably hypothermic and hypoglycemic. If this is the energy they need, it would be much simpler to eat a sandwich and put on a sweater. I am a Nurse, real education, real experience.
