LOL - Laughing Out Loud
ROFL - Rolling On Floor Laughing ROFLMAO (sometimes ROTFLMAO) - Rolling On (The) Floor Laughing my A-- Off then there's all the family abbreviations which got me no end at first... DD - dear daughter DH - dear husband BIL/SIL - brother/sister in law FIL/MIL - father/mother in law etc you get the idea. then there's the doctors. T is often used for Therapist tdoc also used for Therapist pdoc - psychiatrist Epi - epileptologist mdoc or GP - one's general doctor NP - Nurse Practitioner (they can prescribe meds) - some see an NP instead of a general doc BP - "traditionally" used here to mean Bipolar. and people sometimes think of it as two parts and may even write Bi Polar (technically it is one word). anyway that is how BP gets used here. beware when reading elsewhere -the most common abbreviation for Bipolar Disorder is BD. PD - Personality Disorder BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder NPD - Narcissistic Personality Disorder PPD - Paranoid PD et al. NOS - Not Otherwise Specified, eg: BD-NOS or Bipolar NOS - Bipolar Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (i.e. not type 1 or 2) PD-NOS - Personality Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (no specific disorder applies accurately) OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder ADHD or AD(H)D - Attention Deficity/Hyperactivity Disorder SI - Self Injury CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy i thought we had an abbreviations thread... maybe that was before... on OBT... ummm ok... and that too... OBT - (not a type of therapy LOL). This stands for Old BrainTalk - the forum several of us posted to, in reference to its 2005 and older incarnations, not the current one. ok i will start a thread. others please add any other missing/useful abbreviations to the new thread. thank you. ~ waves ~ |

Bless you Waves!
I'm printing out your acronym post and sticking it to computer. I feel like I just learned a third language. (I also speak pig latin.) Cheers |
