For those who experience brain fog how do you deal with the fustration of not being able to do anything useful for large parts of the day.
In terms of physical activity my symptoms aren't too bad, I would consider myself mild. I can get out and about without problems. Excercise or sustained strenuous work does cause problems, so a lot of jobs are out of the equation.
I currently do some volunteer work just one day a week for 4 hours, it is on the telephone and leaves me drained at the end of it. I seem to have very little mental stamina and so It would be a struggle to work a job even if it is sendentary. Most jobs that are not mentally demanding are too physical and so I'm left with much choice. I suppose cleaning jobs would be doable if the hours are less, not too demanding mentally or physically. Although I'd hate to be seen by someone I know doing that job, the sad truth is society looks down on people working those jobs, they assume lack of intelligence or laziness.
Other than that I don't see many options, I feel too brain fogged and tired to start an online business. I love art but whenever I pick up the pencil or stylus I have to force myself to draw and then my brain gets tired. So large portions of day feel a waste, either sleeping or on the internet. I have taken some measures to try to be more productive they are as follows:

I have taken some measures to try to be more productive they are as follows:
- Learning a new langauge on smart phone with apps such as duolingo
- Watch a film on netflix (I know not productive for some, but better than watching pointless videos on youtube) plus it gives you something to talk about
- Read books fiction and non-fiction, again gives you something to talk about
