Issues at the interface of Mavis, community-based psychiatric services and the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

I think that covers us all?

Here, have a baby Nembutal ad.

purple would be good with my orange jacket and our club colours (yellow and black)

but then so would the blue

but mp also makes good point about the classic black

is lucky I can't really afford them or this indecision could be stressful and exacerbate my manic depression

heh I LOVE the old ads

especially chlorpromazine (thorazine) they remind me a lot of the many many uses quetiapine has found for itself

is not a distorted perception thing, my inside leg measurement is barely 29" yet am practically 5'4 (1.6m) so have weird short limbs and long torso

I'm going to have to go to bed again. It's not normal to be this tired.

My mum is shaped like that. I'm five inches taller than she is but we're the same height seated. The difference is all in the lower leg. Try East Asian clothing brands; I think that body shape is more common in that part of the world. Clothes aren't cut well for the long of back and are unflattering - it's not that your shape is bad, it's that your clothes are cut wrong.

Goodnight Mp - hope you shake the tiredness before your holiday.

:( hope is a refreshing sleep mp, maybe your trip will revive you?

will be in bed soon too

Dunno why it capitalised East.

I think 29" is normal for 5'4" though? I'm just over 5'6" and only 30" inside leg at a push, and as I said I'm much longer in the leg and shorter in the back than my mum.

I'm doing that by actual measurement with a tape measure, though - a lot of people wear jeans with a much longer stated inseam, partly I suspect because of vanity sizing, and partly because if you wear high heels you need a longer inseam than your actual inside leg. So women's jeans are always ridiculously long on me because I only wear flat shoes and they're cut expecting a heel.

Sorry, didn't mean to disappear. Got my reptile out for his meds. He's getting worse. I think he's dying and if I'm honest, I don't know what I'll do without him. He is everything.

I'll get him to a vet again tomorrow, somehow, but so far they've been clueless.

Sweet dreams MP

I have no idea what my inside leg measurement is...

ah is that true?

am not really 5'4, am 160cm which comes up a bit shorter but 5'4 sounds right to me

physio measured from hip to foot and legs were 85cm (checking for any discrepancy that might account for why I tend to run using mainly one leg)

Hi Infinity Been hoping you were feeling okay.

What's wrong with your reptile? What type is he? I hope he's okay.

:( sorry your reptile isn't getting better infinity it is so painful to lose a pet xxx

This clothes manufacturer seems to think 29" is an average inside leg for someone 5'2" to 5'4" (and 30" for 5'5"-5'7", which is me).

That size chart does just say "adult", though, so I suppose it includes men, too, who have shorter legs than women, I think? So maybe we are both short-legged

have always believed am a mutant

this is a revelation!

why are sleeves and legs always so LONG then? I like long sleeves but am always standing in a puddle of excess fabric

Fuck only knows. I used to assume that the leg thing was because I never wear heels, but here's a pic I took of me in a shirt I bought online a few weeks ago as part of a campaign to buy one of every manufacturer's version of a long-sleeved ladies' t-shirt.

You can't even see my fingertips.

Perhaps clothing manufacturers are under the impression their customer base is primarily orangutans?

Least flattering photo ever.

that's such a lovely colour

so it's not me at all, it's the clothes

hooray for my limbs!

How's the anxiety now Infinity?

Bright red is one of my favourites too

I thought you said you were fat?

I am fat. 5'6, currently 11 stone 2 and a half, stark naked, first thing in the morning, and post-wee
