Default Success Stories?

Hey guys as person who has been suffering from tbi/pcs for a year and three months I found there was one thing that helped me keep going more than others. I'm talking about success stories. I hope to come on here one day and have one of my own but until now I need the ones from people that have legitimately gotten better. I'm in a strange phase in my recovery. I felt horrible with all of the common pcs symptoms for a month after my concussion. I began to feel a lot better after that for about two months, when I took it overboard and tried returning to normal me (hiking,skateboarding, sports, and many things a outdoorsy person would do). Then I felt horrible for about 6 months with anything from extremes of the the common symptoms to stroke like symptoms needing hospitalization. Now I'm in between the feeling I had a month into concussion where I tried returning to normal activity, and the worse parts of my pcs. I get depressed but then I realize it makes things worse so I try and stay positive. Not being able to be the active person I once was is the absolute worst. If there are people that has beaten this life altering burden please speak up. It gives me hope and others as well. Also I'm sure everyone has seen this but if you haven't, watch the Crash Reel documentary with Kevin Pierce. It's a mood booster for sure.

Check out the stickies at the top. You may find some inspiration there.

The Kevin Pearce Crash Reel has never been mentioned here. Many here were concerned about his return to risky activities. Fortunately, he has a huge support structure and funding for rehab that few have.

I'm surprised you returned to skateboarding. There are plenty of outdoor activities that do not have such a risk. But, we all have our own lives to live.

I met a guy who was in a motorbike accident, he said it took him 8 years of therapy, apart from being on psychiatric meds he seemed normal, he said he couldn't speak for years after the accident.
