About 2 weeks ago, I've hit a point where my symptoms have become much worse. Intense anxiety, depression, brain fog, insomnia... It was honestly one of the hardest periods I’ve gone through. After diving into research and working with my doctor, I discovered that I have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). My gut is inflamed, and it’s likely tied to an imbalance in my gut bacteria, possible SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and very likely that I have methylation issues.
I've also developed a severe histamine intolerance in the past two months. Everything I ate has left me feeling absolutely exhausted, and it's been terrible lately. I couldn't even stare at a screen for more than 15 minutes without getting brain fog and nausea. I felt very depressed, I had no energy or drive to do anything, and even had dark thoughts starting to creep in.
I can see this has been building up for a while. Two years ago, I was going through a very stressful period, while pushing myself physically with intense training. I had pretty severe insomnia and digestive issues back then and since then, it’s been a wild rollercoaster of ups and downs. I’d have a few days or even weeks when I felt very motivated, only to crash again and feel terrible for days. The last 3-4 months have been especially tough, and the last two weeks have been by far the worst.
That being said, I guess hitting rock bottom can sometimes help you see things more clearly. Over these past two weeks, I’ve spent dozens of hours researching everything I could about gut health and more specifically methylation (as I am 99% sure I have methylation issues). I've already been looking for information on this subject for the past months, as I've been experiencing similar, but less intense, symptoms. But now, I'm much more certain of what's going on in my body, as I've seen my doctor and explained everything to him.
4 days ago, I started a new supplement protocol that targets my methylation and gut health, and I can’t believe the difference it’s already making. My mood improved, my anxiety has calmed down, the brain fog and nausea are gone, and I can eat without feeling like I’m about to collapse afterwards. The dopamine is finally kicking in without disturbing my sleep too much. Mental health is pretty damn complicated. After months of frustration and confusion, and especially after the nightmare of these past 2 weeks, it feels like I’ve turned a corner.
I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. I’ve learned so much about my body and my health through this process. Healing is never linear, but I’m ready to keep moving forward. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and support as I go through this.

Maybe try exercising at a different time of the day than you did before.

I don't think polyphasic sleep would be great for me, too complicated to fit in my life. I don't exercise really much, as I had really bad experiences with that before (crazy insomnia). I want to reincorporate exercises though, but I need to fix some stuff before that.

Good you found a working solution. Polyphasic sleep can do wonders too in terms of good sleep, mood and energy, but can be difficult to fit into social life unfortunately. Otherwise exercise more during the day, unless you already do that. Proper lightning (red, white, yellow...) during different times of the day also helps feeling better and getting better sleep.
