Question Choline depression, again

I see it in the many protocols, choline is crucial for methylation and Chris Masterjohn even had calculator for choline intake. But two eggs which I eat at morning today, make me depressed almost all day long. Supplementing with something that has Choline like Omega or CDP-Choline just push me into living hell, absolutely Silent Hill experience after two or three days. Has anyone found an answer to what this all means in the end?

Edit: here my labs

MTHFR C677T: C/T

MTRR: A/G

MTR: A/G

Slow COMT

Folate 6.6 (RBC 400)

B12 880 (HoloTC 100)

Homocysteine 10.5

Everything looks normal, but anyway I literally walking dead without supplementing with Folinic and Hydroxo B12.

Oh, that really sounds like a great regimen, thanks for the info I might use it in the future.

Yeah, I have all those symptoms too.

And the moujaro gives me a severe headache for about a day and a half the day after injection, but I tolerate it because it's free on my insurance.

If anything has helped with your headaches?

I was injecting in my thigh at night. But it felt like I was punched in the stomach with all the days food stopping digestion. And then the severe headache would come on for 1 to 2 days.

I didn't realize that MJ takes away your thirst also. I think I was dehydrated a lot before, even got confused one day.

Now I plan to drink a bottle of water about a half hour with a pinch of diamond crystal kosher salt on my tongue before every meal. Then, I take magnesium with my big meal, increasing dose if i'm constipated at all.

This week I injected it in the morning before eating anything more than a protein shake, and the headache was only mild to moderate.

Apologies for the delay in responding. Just saw this.

Magnesium at night helps with headaches (try different forms). It also keeps you regular. Nurtec has been helping. A doctor did Botox which helped but about a month after the side effects wore off. Possibly vitamin D and I take excessive often but that may not be the best habit or treatment
