Rose, sounds like you are my doppelganger. 
Plus, I want sexsexsex! And I find that I require less food- I often forget to eat. I tend to start new projects or research things almost frantically. I find myself feeling like I have to shop or buy something. I feel very creative- I draw a lot, paint, write, want to design skirts and make crafts with leaves and bake and clean my house and reorganize the silverware drawer and seek out things to iron and make meal after meal so that we are good for the week. Just talking about it makes me feel a little wave coming on...

be gentle with yourself.
you are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
