Lately, I'd say that things in my life are going fairly swell. Me and Delora are doing pretty well. Her view of me is higher than it has been in the past, and she shows me this in her actions and words. This has triggered a change in my own attitude. I am beginning to feel powerful and motivated. It's almost like a conditional manic episode that comes in when things are going well for me, I have the urge to pursue 100 different things at once. I want to write a book. I want to learn to program. I want to take risky moves like applying for jobs I'm underqualified for. I want to sleep in a tent in the woods for a week. I want to buy a go cart and zoom around in it, and I want to travel. I feel like I could be a great influencer and overall am ready to kick some ass. Who can relate?

 it seems like your relationship is somewhat shaky

It's kind of normal to feel that the world is your oyster when you're in a really good mood. If your good mood, and enhanced "grandiosity" are the result of the compliments/approval you've been receiving, then that's your narcissism at play. But if you're in an elated mood simply because things are going well for you in general, that could just be normal. Or it might be cyclothymia, depending on how "high" you are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclothymia

Might be narcissism. It is due to my relationship being better which has resulted in me being praised more.

I've always found that in most cases, people are their inverse. If you feel all powerful, you're at a low point. If you feel low, you have the room to climb. 

Any time I see people feeling powerful, it's 9/10 a cope for how they can't handle something else.

QFT - Quoted for truth.

Whatever comes up must come down. That's why I I tend to stay in the middle and control that winner effect. It's a good feeling but it's better to not be overconfident.
