Acronyms

[Annie]

Hey all,
As a newbie to this site and reading lots, I have noticed, other than PTSD, there are lots of acronyms that I have never even heard of.
Hopefully I am not alone here.
Do we have a place that lists them? And if not what is the etiquette for asking what they mean?

You mean like:

LOL laughing out loud
IMHO In My Humble Opinion
T Therapist
SA Sexual Assault
DH Darling (or Dumbass ) Husband
DD Dear Daughter
SIL Son in Law
DIL Daughter in law
MIL Mom in Law
BF Boyfriend

or which ones specifically do you need translated? Don't be afraid to ask questions.

I see ones that seem specific to medical terms...like DID or RDS, etc....there is always something somewhere...and I don't know if I should be asking the person who started the thread or not.

Annie,

I get somewhat confused sometimes too.. And my best advice is ask the person who started the thread. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

DID=dissociative identity disorder aka multiple personality disorder

RSD= reflex sympathetic dystrophy

I would just post a question in the thread.
