Okay, let me take this section by section on these "symptoms" you've posted and let's examine them. You say you lust for blood. That's perfectly normal, contrary to popular belief. Humans are, at the core, very feral and animalistic. We once survived ages past on animals and their blood; we hunted and killed our food, and feasted on their barely cooked meat. Those with blood lusts nowadays, I believe this is a genetic holdover from a time long past. But at the same time this could be a vampiric trait. Sanguine vampires, Human Living Vampires, often lust for blood because it is what our bodies require to keep us sane and healthy. Yet this could also again be a human condition and you should first get checked out by a physician before you make any decisions on vampirism or seek any other "alternative" means.
You say you chewed your lips. This is something called autovampirism, but it doesn't do anything for us vampirically, yet it seems to help us with the cravings. And along with this, the feelings of raging and being so out of control are also symptoms of our blood needs. I personally haven't fed in a while and my need is spiraling out of control. I am snappy, aggressive, aggitated constantly, and just generally angry for no reason. Do you experience any of these symptoms?
How long do would you say it takes you to burn in direct sunlight? And do you require sunglasses when you go outside into the sunlight? These are often signs of vampirism, but there are also human conditions that would cause this, and as I said earlier, I'd suggest you get checked out by regular physician before you attribute any of it to vampirism.
Being nocturnal and having trouble staying on a diurnal sleep schedule is also something I have trouble with. I can't speak for everyone, but I love the night and hate the sun. I loathe the sun, and I wish it would be killed, killed so much that it dies from it! But yeah, we can't survive without it so I guess I'm screwed, lol. The point is, due to our averssion to sunlight, we are often very active at night and sleep most of the day away.
Garlic is not a problem for me, and neither is it for most vampires. Mainly, this misconception comes from the idea of a vampire being repelled by garlic because of our heightened senses, we smell it and it's odor is very offensive to our sense of smell. I think this is where that myth comes from.
Personally, without feeding, I'm as weak as a babe, and I grow weaker and weaker as tiem passes. Yet when I'm good and fed, I seem to have a slight better physique and strength than normal humans.
So, I hope this has answered the issues you have raised, and if not, please let me know what else you need and I will poke around inside your head some more, lol. Just remember, in the end, no one can tell you if you are vampiric or whatever, it is up to you. ^_^
