I'm 30. I feel 70. No clue why. I take vitamin supplements, I exercise, I try to sleep, I had basic blood test. Nothing.
More seriously could be signs of depression. I felt way worse when I was depressed. Also could be something like chronic fatigue syndrome too.
P.S. get your vitamin-d levels checked. It’s a super common deficiency.
I think I've always been low-key depressed but there was always this ray of hope. But now it's dawning upon me "this is it, that's life, take it or leave it" and that's just terrifying and demotivating. I feel like I have to accept that things I wanted so bad just won't happen. And with each passing day my exhaustion keeps getting worse so I feel like the number of things that bring me joy keeps getting smaller.
Often depression is just that, a sign you need to change something. The what is hard.. Often it's our mindset. Sometimes it's healing old injuries or abuses. Sometimes it's chemical. CBT can really help. Hope you find healing.
Getting some sun and exercise in the morning helps my mood a lot. Might help.
The important point is to eliminate excessive carbs in the diet. And might as well do that with as little harm as possible.
Plants are subpar nutrition wise compared to red meat especially in keto.
The least harmful diet would be carnivore.

Your argument has no nuance and total certainty, which tells me you haven't thought deeply enough on the problem.
If you were just a bit interested in how keto really works and had a curiosity on advanced cases or followed pros on twitter you'd agree with me (losing weight is easy compared to fixing epilepsy/schizophrenia).
Example are people with mental & auto-immune issues.
How's your sleep? Do you avoid eating within a couple hours of bedtime? Are you waking up to pee in the night?
I had a period when I'd drink a litre of vodka every weekend, but now it's like "one beer to chill after work". Weed is my vice though, I'm stoned every weekend. I try to cut though because the amounts I used to consume now make me tired, so I'm aiming for smaller doses.
I try to eliminate caffeine, but I keep learning about new sources of it. It's literally today that I learned just how much caffeine cola has.
Sugar is my vice definitely. I cycle every day, so I burn it. When I don't cycle I hit the gym.
Sleep... it happens often that I schedule time to sleep, I put away my phone, but then I just don't fall asleep, I just lie there awkwardly in bed. Or I wake up and then can't go back to sleep. I feel like the quality of my sleep isn't there really, which is why I decided to cut caffeine in the first place. But then I sometimes have a streak where I can sleep and function well. One thing is that I tend to get sleepy in the afternoon. If I go to bed and manage to get one full cycle of sleep, I won't feel completely miserable. I don't have big meals before bedtime but often I keep snacking on something.
Whether I wake up to pee depends on how much liquid I drink before. I'd say 50/50.
Ramen, bacon, beer, cola, weed...
Maybe cut back or eliminate those for a few weeks and see how you feel? It's obviously way easier said than done but I can almost guarantee that cleaner living will bring back some of the lost energy, and once you've got more energy it gets a lot easier to get (and stay) on track again.
Best of luck.
From your other comment the root cause definitely sounds psychological. I'll note that negative health consequences will only exacerbate that if and when they eventually start to accumulate.
Unless it’s gout.
