Thank you Callista, yes, you're right, I've been feeling very maternal lately. There are a few babies at our church, and someone always lets me "borrow" one to bounce on my knee.
Regarding the god complex... it wasn't that I thought I was God, but I thought I was on a special mission from Him to help save the world. And I thought I had power over the weather, could make it rain, move clouds, cause it to hail and stir up the wind. Sort of a minor god of storms.
Anyway... I'm past that now. But I suspect if I came off my meds it would start up again.
Oh, I could talk to animals as well, and understand what they were thinking. Now it's one thing to be intuitive about animals, it's another thing to believe you're doctor doolittle.
