You are the best judge, but sometimes trying to focus the muddled brain just makes it more worn out. I had to quit reading and crossword puzzles for a year, because it was too draining. I started knitting which didn't seem to be so draining, and gave me something to do. It was soothing.
I used to use Valerian, a natural sleep aid, and melatonin and Rescue Remedy are other natural options if you haven't tried them.
I was a vegetable at one time. Could not grasp conversation and could hardly speak. Full of vertigo and buzzing and vibrating. Eyes didn't work right. Gasped and panted for air and would get worn out trying to walk the couple of rooms from bedroom to kitchen.
Could not be out of bed for more than 20 min. at a time.
But I am healing. I can't offer you any guarantees that you will heal. But I can tell you that it is possible to come back from what seems an impossible situation. I don't know how much of what I lost will come back but it is already more than I hoped for ... and I am not done yet. Hope is hard, for fear of being disappointed yet again. But hope can also keep you from going under.

I hope that things will turn around for you.
