Over the next 8 or so months I struggled with Post Concussive. I was very nervous and anxious, had a lot of trouble sleeping, and just felt like I wasn't there a lot of the time.

I know your pain, it was terrible. Dealing with this while starting a new life does suck, a lot.

But here I am, 10 months later, and I'm completely fine. Since returning to college, my symptoms have basically all disappeared. I feel completely fine, I barely even think about how bad the past few months have been!

So stay strong! I know it feels like it drags on forever and it'll never get better, but trust me, it does!

What helped me was staying positive, staying healthy, exercising regularly, and surrounding myself with the people I loved.

Hang in there, it'll get better!
