Orphan Archetype

Hi,

I think I'm banking on there being a psychotherapist/psychiatrist floating around or else someone who has done this kind of work.

I fear, I am an orphan archetype with a victim mentality, running around trying to find someone or something to fill a void. It is true that I do need to get out more and connect with others (obviously after covid). After doing a personality test, it turns out I am a perfectionist and an orphan archetype and I think this fits the bill really. I have always struggled on and off throughout my life with anxiety and depression, a worrier whose glass is always half empty. My confidence is at an all time low. Unfortunately, also fast approaching menopause so hormones not helping (but don't want to go down hrt route).

Just wondered really - you can't change personality can you? After all this time, I don't know what can be done to make things better. The fact that I'm fast approaching meno. probably gives you an idea of my age. Feeling lost. I'm due to see a psychotherapist but obviously with covid, it has been delayed. Any insights? Anyone?
