Sherryanne - I would ignore all pressure from family/friends and trust in yourself regarding how you feel. If you are enjoying life, and feel stable - maybe all you need is Prozac. Or maybe even you don't need it at all. Only you will know, by monitoring your own moods and bahavior.

The thing with all disorders is that they can be scaled in severity, like 1 - 10. Some folks with BPD hold jobs just fine, get married, raise babies...and life ain't half bad most days.

Other folks whose primary diagnosis is BPD spend YEARS inpatient due to self-injury, violence, etc. And most people fall some where inbetween those extremes. BPD comes in LOTS of flavors.

So, you need to decide based on how you are doing over time. Therapy-only is always preferable, when possible (ditto for most disorders). If you can live your life without...wonderful news for you, eh? Some people simply can't.

Take care of yourself!
