I sympathize with your situation, and can relate to some of the things you described over the last couple years due to a high stress work environment. One thing I realized was that a majority of the population are magnesium deficient and this can have a dramatic effect on some people. Initially I tried taking the RDA amount as a supplement and it did nothing. Eventually I said screw it and tried a much larger dose, 1 gram per day of magnesium chelate lysinate glycinate. I felt like a different person within 48 hours. Interestingly I found this pubmed article shortly therafter which described exactly my experience:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542786/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542786/
The doses in the study are way above the standard RDA.
Other than that exercise makes a huge difference for me. I try to do the stair climber for 5 mins each morning and get my heart rate up, and then just walk outside or on the treadmill for 30 to 60 mins right after. If I go more than 2 days without doing that I generally start to feel like crap again. That has made a big difference. Feel free to pm me, happy to discuss, and kudos to you for speaking up about your experiences and asking for help.
