I'm with you on meds, but that only after realizing that although my meds did help certain symptoms of my disorder, there were drawbacks for me, like losing a lot of creativity and feeling quite unemotional. Yeah yeah, I know that's part of the problem of bpd, being emotional right? Well I am emotional and for me, I like my emotions and would rather learn to naturally control them than use meds to mask them temporarily - as it is, temporary.

@Fletch: don't get me wrong. I'm happy for you and glad that they are helping you. I know that it's a personal choice and it is indeed needed in lot's of people's cases so don't take this as a total attack on the medication approach! *hugs*
