What Causes Cravings For Blood?

i have this weird feeling of craving blood, i don't know why but ever since i bit my lip that last day i started craving blood and i have my boyfriend that offers his to me so i don't cut myself because i have the need to do that just to have blood. and this thing (craving) for blood is really disturbing besides that it turns me on and its not something i would really like to feel especially when i'm around.... drinking my boyfriend's blood.

Hello,
Perhaps you have an iron deficiency. Do you have a balanced diet and no vitamin deficiencies? Have you made any sudden dietary changes? Do you eat meat or have adequate protein intake? Blood anslysis would be recommended. Please schedule a visit with your doctor for a physical. If you feel you have obsessive tendencies or are overwhelmed, you may be referred for a mental health evaluation. Some habits can be detrimental to your overall health and there are many options available to you if you choose to reach out.
Thank you for your inquiry.
