There is light at the end of the tunnel, I promise. I have personally gone through many a struggle and lived to tell the tale.
I was in a car accident that nearly killed me a few years back. I was dealing with broken vertebrae, memory loss, chronic pain, migraines and more all from this one car crash (it wasn't my fault, by the way). It took everything I had, but I gathered what strength I could manage and fought like hell to recover and keep positive. I’m still stuck with pain every so often but I don’t let it keep me down. I am a stronger person because of it and trust me; I don’t find much to complain about anymore.
