My advice is to do what you can to break yourself out of it. You might have to reach out to people online and develop friendships, or find people in your neighborhood to talk to, if there are people your age around. You could even work on improving the relationship with your mother, although I know that probably isn't your first choice. Although professional help would be nice, if you can't currently get it, then do what you can for yourself. You are more powerful than you realize in your ability to overcome your own emotions. Read good books; find ways to engage your mind in something positive.

A therapist using free association and dream interpretation discovers that as a small child her patient had been left alone by her mother on several occasions and concludes that the patient is experiencing unipolar depression. The therapist is mostly likely from which orientation?
