Question:

I think of myself as a hard worker. I surround myself with positive, healthy ambitious people. I work as a Licensed Professional Counselor and am interviewing for a second job. I have Bipolar 1–it’s a sad sentence but I'm a trooper with self-care.

I'm dating a highly successful, very ambitious, humble kind-hearted man. We sometimes have fights because he wants me to grow and stretch myself.

How do I grow when I have failed miserably before? I'm in a committed loving relationship and know I can be better. I am honest with him and don't want my disability to be overwhelming to my boyfriend.

How do I own my growth and what steps can I take to be a more growth-oriented person? When will I know?
