Does COVID brain fog go away on its own?

I was diagnosed October 2021. My brain fog still continues. I write down what I want to do tomarrow because I still forget things in an instant. It's like short term memory loss. I always have a feeling I have forgotten something very important. Always restless, fidgeting and hard to focus. When I do focus I end up irritated and headaches, even focusing on a conversation like this. I miss reading and writing.

I also was a life long avid reader, and have been unable to read anything longer than a newspaper article since my acute covid infection last June. I've also had constant unfocused anxiety since then, including the feeling that I may have "forgotten something very important". I've realized that this anxiety is a symptom of long covid, and not a reflection of real life. I've been focusing on trying to ignore this feeling (not always easy) rather than trying to identify a "cause" of what I was experiencing. I also have other brain fog issues. My focus is generally just trying to get through the day without any major problems. I also find (at times) making lists helps me accomplish basic tasks (e.g. today I went on line and paid all of the co-pays for medical bills for the last couple of months).
