Thank god. I did not have high hopes for this poor kid. I hope his parents realize how much he was/is suffering.

Look into DBT- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It's a bit different than most kinds of talk therapy, and literally changed my life; I had crippling anxiety that I developed after cancer and some problems with prescription meds like Ativan and Xanax. While it was originally used with people with borderline personality disorder, it has been very successful in helping people with addiction, those who are suicidal, people with PTSD, and those of us with anxiety. I cannot recommend if highly enough!

I think what makes this work so well is the focused "lessons" on distress tolerance and mindfulness. If you can't find a therapist near you, there are online options, but there are also books on Amazon that can really help you too. Marsha Linehan is the expert, but there are other great resources available too. B

Wouldn't that also drive away customers?

I would also highly recommend making sure you have at the bare minimum a reflective blanket in your glove box in case you break down as well as warm gloves. There's definitely more you could/should have prepared for winter driving, but the blanket can save your life!

Isn't it an order of magnitude more difficult to prove a claim is false than it is to make a false claim? Because I can think of a shit ton of false claims that have been made in the past two years that somehow seem not to have proven false, despite all evidence.
