Just Noticed an Add for GROW

It goes like this……

GROW gives hope

ARE you sick and tired of feeling miserable, worthless and unable to cope in everyday living?

If this is you then GROW may be the answer you're looking for?

GROW offers hope and solutions to many of the human problems people are experiencing in today’s society, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessions, emotional and social breakdowns and relationship problems.

Don't be alone we have found a way to beat it. Friendly, confidential, anonymous, non denominational, open to all, no fuss!

Ring GROW to find your nearest group.

We understand how you feel, ?????????

Really do they know how YOU feel… I am sure they do not have a clue about how I feel…. that is our local group.. and from my contact thus far with the national association well their attitude just leaves me and others right out in the cold..

The 12 Steps … as previous I have posted really give HOPE ???

As I read them they encourage me to accept the blame for my mental health condition.. so I did something to cause my self to suffer with mental health difficulties. As for them finding how to beat it!! I am not sure what this refers to??

They suggest they have all the answers to life and all it’s mysteries such as anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessions, emotional and social breakdowns and relationship problems. Well if that were the case I am sure we would have heard more about this…

My take on it is:

if you swallow the rhetoric they suggest and follow the METHOD they recommend like a mindless individual then you are all fixed.

It really is in some ways like a cult where the followers follow what those who think they have the answers say..

As for friendly and non judgemental, confidential I am not sure they really understand it at all..

Mental Health is not an addiction.. it is as much a physical problem as any other bodily malfunction..
