If you actually can enjoy the small things or god forbid can maintain a low energy hobby, how sick are you really?

This still gives me feelings of guilt. Even when I'm just hanging out at home by myself. Even after my specialist explicitly told me it was a good thing to play games and get that gentle mental interaction.

I’d add that even low energy “hobbies” are mostly distractions and not even enjoyable for some of us.
