GF - girlfriend.

And to clarify Anorexia and Bulimia can only be shorted to AN and BN because ana and mia are now against rules.

[Bellatrix]

I suggested AN and BN be added but they were vetoed last time. Even though medical people use them and I do all the time in posts.

I'd still like them added as they are now common place in the ED forum.

[Olive branch]

With DID, it could be useful to say it was previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Most people don't seem to know what Dissociative Identity Disorder is, unless they are involved with it in some way.

Great thread.

[[Pixie]]

^^ I Agree.
Id rather AN & BN be added to the list; Ana&Mia arent allowed on the ED board...
this is a pro recovery site ;]

helpful thread other than that though:D

The above post has just pointed out that ana and mia are not allowed as they are very offensive. Please replace with AN and BN.
