well I find most trouble in the endgame it is very complex when you dont have a lot of pieces and you have a ton of moves

A ton of moves yes, but most of them aren't any good. It sounds stupid but talking to yourself (internally of course) is a good way to handle end games. Forget about calculating variations, say things like 'must keep my rook active, even if I have to give up a pawn' or 'If I can get the bishops off, the pawn ending looks winning' or ' got to activate my king and get the centre pawns rolling' etc,etc. The endgame is about plans more than variations...of course if you can't tell the difference between a won or lost ending then its all irrelevant!
