In life, you will have moments when you ask if it's worth going on. You'll ask yourself what's the point? It's tough. Very tough. But you have to realise that you aren't the only one going through this. Children go through worse than this and they fight on. They never give up because life is precious and where there is life, there is hope. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

Never forget that things can and will improve for you, do not make the mistake of allowing emotions make rash decisions for you. Emotions are feelings, much of the time they are not the truth.

Don't give up. Fight back. Get help. We all need help sometimes. I was a martial artist for 7 years. I was used to feeling strong and in control, then I got my concussion and then I was weak. I needed help and I was in dark places at times. In the last year I have had a concussion, been ill 3 times flat on my back and my wife has had a brain tumour removed. All of this whilst raising two young children.

It's the hardest time of my life. And this is yours.

Don't give in.
