and unfortunately the cut-off point for support is 64.  I'm someone who's been physically pretty active, trying to keep my mental health level, so I really don't fit into the standard 'aged' person category. 😞

Thanks Hanami

Have you seen the resources from the Australian BPD Foundation? I never knew there was an age limit @sixtyfive

I meant that the Spectrum programs have an age limit of 64years

I do not know any specific schema therapists @sixtyfive and we are not supposed to recommend private practitioners, but welcoming you here. I am a senior, probably on "the spectrum" and probably could be ticked off for all sorts of disorders, but also trying to wrok with my strengths.

Schema could be good fit.

Cheers Apple

Hi all,

I've landed here as part of my safety plan to get me through December and early January whilst my psychologist is on a break.

I'm looking forward to hearing peoples stories, lessons learnt and helpful resources that may be offered.

Hi @Hope0011 welcome to the Sane Forums.

Can understand the need for support around the holidays. Both my psych and pdoc are away so have to try and fend for myself.

The forums are a great place to get support.

Take care xoxox
