Ahhhh....that explains it....being a smoker, myself, I understand completely.
Lovely to have a dog companion. I had a golden labrador, pre-kids. He was gawjus. Hand-picked him from the litter. He was so gentle and very loyal. I taught him a few tricks too. At the time we were living next to a beach and he used to come for runs with me. He had a mate down the road, another lab....he used to knock on our door when he wanted to visit Wal(my dog)....lol
Attentiveness(the feeling he gives me like I am the only woman he wants and will ever want), making a noticeable effort in developing something lasting and it not just about being a one-way street(putting himself out occasionally just for me), random acts of spontaneous gestures(eg placing his arms round my waist for a cuddle and neck smooch whilst I'm at the kitchen sink), being romantic(without losing his masculinity), the ability to laugh at himself and the world....and together.
Not having to settle picking up "crumbs" which may happen to fall my way.
An endorphin rush after exercise should subside reasonably quickly.
I don't know you well as I am relatively new on this site, but it does sound as though these higher states of consciousness could be the beginnings of a manic phase?
Having said that, I am no medic.
Do you have a good support system in place? family, friends, doctors? who may recognise any changes?
