No worries!

I use pwBPD to say "person with BPD", especially if I'm chatting with people here on the "son/daughter/etc with BPD" board, because the person in my life with BPD traits isn't my child. So I often use "pwBPD" if I'm talking about some general traits.

Not sure about fBPD -- could mean a female person with BPD? Haven't seen that one around.

I sometimes use pwPD to say "person with a personality disorder", as while my husband's kids' mom has many BPD traits, her husband has strong NPD traits (yay, what a combo), so I sometimes talk about PD traits in general (versus BPD in particular).

You may see uBPD, which stands for "undiagnosed BPD", and dBPD, which stands for "diagnosed BPD", as well.

I think x, xW, and xH show up more on other boards, and you can probably guess mean "ex", "ex-wife", and "ex-husband". Same for xGF and xBF.

Hope that helps for starters!
