Ovolacto vegetarian for a decade here: Veganism is hard to do right compared to almost every other sort of meat/animal product light diet.
B12 and several other less prominent nutrients are not in great abundance in non-animal based foods, so you have to eat a lot of a certain subset of strange foods to guarantee your health, as you do need those nutrients
If you really are trying to make a lasting change, try vegan + fish (So no bird eggs, or milk based products), ovolacto (no meat or fish, but milk and egg based products), just lacto (no meat or fish, but milk based product), or just ovo(no meat or fish or milk based products). All of these additionally are much much much more easy order at a restaurant or to fix out of the rest of the stuff at a dinner party, both important social functions in human existence.
All of them are relatively easier to do than straight veganism (although pretty much any of them involving milk products leave you a huge channel for saturated fat intake, namely cheese, which may not help fix your issues).
I know for years I ate sushi occasionally until a bad experience the next day one time has made me leary to usually avoid it.
