legalseagull Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ok so this is a stupid question. When you send the magazine out does it have 'OCD-UK' on the envelope or anything like that? I'd like to be a member and get the magazine but I don't want anyone to know. Yes I realize I'm pathetic but there you go. Link to comment
Guest legend Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 comes in plain packaging legal so nobody can tell the difference Link to comment
gingerbreadgirl Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm not sure I've ever received this... possible gone into my spam but I don't think I've ever got a copy of the mag. please could you send me one? Link to comment
Ashley Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Ginger, It looks like you have them emailed, I have just sent another from the office@ocduk.org email account, check if you see it in inbox or junk. I can resend the ones you have misses. If you prefer I am happy to send them hard copy through the post, just let me know your postal address. Ashley Link to comment

I'd like to be a member and get the magazine but I don't want anyone to know. Yes I realize I'm pathetic but there you go. Just as Legend explains, we do indeed send everything out in plain unmarked envelopes, with no reference to OCD at all on the packaging. If you prefer we can instead just email members communications, so that's another option Wishing you well, Ashley Link to comment
gingerbreadgirl Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 thanks Ashley, I've got it I have probably just been rubbish and unobservant with they other ones lol. Link to comment

OCDCanuck Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm sitting here on a campsite in the middle of nowhere, and I am thoroughly enjoying my first issue of Compulsive Reading on my phone. Firstly, I was not expecting such a professional-looking magazine. It's amazing. Secondly, reading it is heartwarming. Especially the thank you section. So many people giving do much to help the people with this horrible illness. I will never say that I'm happy to have OCD but I am happy to have found this place and be a small part of this community. Kudos to the OCD-UK team. Link to comment
taurean Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I feel just the same OCDCanuck - its a brilliant magazine, and I shall enjoy reading it over a period of time, like savouring the best wine. And I am humbled by the wonderful efforts the committee, the moderators, the volunteers and all the fund-raisers make to help the organisation help others, including - of course - you and me. By the way I am especially proud of the work being done by the charity to educate therapists in the particular machinations of OCD - it's only one of a number of anxiety disorders, but it does require very special consideration and treatment.

Guest AJ45 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi- have not recd a copy of July Magazine. Happy to have it emailed ! Link to comment
Ashley Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi AJ, The hard copies only left here Friday and the rest today (second class) so they may still be in the postal system, but I have popped an email version over to you just now. Regards, Ashley Link to comment
mummyoftwogirls Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What an awesome magazine . For some reason I wasn't a member anymore so I haven't had mags for a while I'm so impressed with the amount and quality of text :-) well done guys. Ps if you pay £2 a month does it automatically stop after a year? If it does I think you should consider keeping the direct debit rolling unless it is cancelled Link to comment
Ashley Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What an awesome magazine . Thank you I will pass all your feedback on to the team. Monthly payments are left in place until the person cancels, or their card expires. We do send reminders annually too. Link to comment

Guest PatsyG Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great magazine, thanks! Personally it makes me feel less alone with my struggles and gives me a sense of community PS Anyone notice a spelling mistake on the cover..? Link to comment
Guest honey Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I must say that I sat on my sofa practically howling when I read this magazine. I quite literally cannot believe how much progress there has been since I was an undiagnosed, untreated, horribly poorly teenager in the 1980s. I am stunned that my very worst problems are now openly discussed, debated and acknowledged. This is such a brilliant change in our culture. And Ashley deserves so much credit for this, as the individual who drove this charity forwards 10 years ago. And everyone else who has helped since deserves a huge round of congratulations too! honey :original: Link to comment
Ashley Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thank you all for your kind comments, I am so glad the magazine is of interest to our members. I already have content for the next magazine and I hope to have it to you all by the end of September. Ashley Link to comment
Guest LauraMac Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The magazine is fantastic Ash, it's become my night-time reading in bed. Been really enjoying it! Mum and dad have even been having a read so that's positive too. Laura x Link to comment
taurean Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) It is an in inspiration, put together by inspirational people. And i feel inspired to submit something myself in due course, but I reckon the quality of the content submitted is clearly so high I will have to work incredibly hard to get past the editors and have a chance to appear in print!.
