I know what you are dealing with, and I'm so sorry that you're going through it.
What I've found helpful is to try making different levels of effortlessness for various daily tasks. Basically, it's just having contingency plans that I can implement as needed. Making them pleasant is also important.
For example, here are my breakfast contingencies:
Another thing that really helped me a lot was learning to drink more water. For almost everybody, this sounds as simple as just grabbing a water bottle and making an effort to change habits. It probably doesn't even occur to them that this might need to be streamlined for people like us.
For me, here's what worked:
These are all things that require spending some money upfront, but are cheap to maintain.
Basically, the strategy is to accept that you're already doing what you can to help yourself, so making the tasks easier will let you do more and live better with your limited energy. Having contingencies that accept how bad some days can be will help to keep one very bad day from turning into a very bad week because you won't need to stretch yourself to get something done when you can least "afford" to do so.
Don't be embarrassed or ashamed by the lengths you need to go to in order to live decently. Others won't get it, but we both know that you're already used to people not really understanding.
If you want to talk more and exchange ideas about more ways to "save spoons," then just let me know. Good luck!

Veganuary's whole website is a great resource for anyone transitioning to veganism; their "Starter Kit" has links to lots of helpful videos and articles, as well as lists of recipes for creating weekly meal plans.
The Stingy Vegan has tons of frugal tasty recipes organized by prep time.
What’s For Dinner When You’re Vegan, But Can’t Cook? is useful if you're less into cooking. Gardein's products are also fantastic if you're into minimal cooking effort; just stir fry them and add a frozen veggie mix to the pan and you have a quick and easy meal that's tasty, filling, and full of protein and veggies.
The Vegan-for-a-Week Challenge: How to Survive and Thrive has some really useful information for the first week or two, even if you plan on continuing as vegan.

Helpful hints we wish we knew when we went vegan!
Nutrition info you can trust—from a Registered Dietitian
Vegan Health is hands down the best resource for evidence-based vegan nutrition out there, so if nothing else I highly recommend bookmarking their website! Check out their Daily Needs to make sure you're not missing any necessary food groups or supplements (you have a B12 supplement, right?).
As far as snacks or packed lunches, I used to bring a PB&J sandwich to work for breakfast and a hummus wrap for lunch. I would prepare them both in 10 min before leaving for work. You can add almost literally anything to a hummus wrap, I would add pretty much anything I had in my fridge; usually avocado and tomato but I've done hummus+peppers+lettuce and even hummus+banana!
Trader Joe's Cuban Style Black Beans are cooked and come with green peppers, onions, garlic, and other spices. All you need is a can opener and you can eat them straight out of the can, or heat them in a microwave if you don't want them cold (in a microwave-safe dish). Add them to a tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, and/or guac and you have a 10-second burrito.
Lately I've been supplementing my meals with Soylent, which has helped me a lot (I've been trying to gain weight). It's great when I'm in a rush and just want to grab something as I'm heading out the door.
This is a recipe that's a staple in my household, you pretty much just throw everything in a pot and leave it for several hours:
Super tasty chili recipe:
· 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed & cooked according to package directions
· 1 onion, chopped
· 3 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 jalapeno, diced (optional, see note about heat level in directions)
· 1 carrot, peeled & chopped
· 2 celery stalks, chopped
· 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
· 1 zucchini (large), chopped
· 3 cans beans, drained & rinsed (suggested: black, kidney, great northern)
· 2 cans diced tomatoes
· 15 oz tomato sauce
· 15 oz condensed tomato soup
· 1 Tbsp cumin
· 3 Tbsp chili powder
· 1/4 cup brown sugar
· 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
· salt & pepper
Saute onions and garlic in large pot until soft. (NOTE: If you are using a slow-cooker instead of the stove top OR are planning on letting chili simmer for 3+ hours, just throw the onions and garlic in raw & skip this step. If you are making the chili for a faster turn-around than 2 hours, save yourself the onion breath and sauté! Planning to consume between 2 and 3 hours? Hmm Good Luck…)
Add all veggies to pot and stir; i.e. jalapeno, carrot, celery, bell pepper and zucchini. If you like a little bit of heat, leave all the seeds in the jalapeno & rough chop it (you can handle it). But if you don’t like any bite at all, then remove the seeds.
Add cooked quinoa to pot and stir.
Add spices and base to pot and stir; i.e. canned tomatoes (with juices), tomato soup, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, cayenne, salt & pepper to taste
Add rinsed beans. Stir.
Let simmer on low for multiple hours, until vegetables are desired level of crunchy/soft.
NOTE: This is the original recipe we used, but since then we vary the vegetables and basically just throw in whatever we have/feel like. For instance, sometimes we do potatoes instead of quinoa. Also, we never use jalapeno peppers, I think my bf just uses more tomato sauce instead of tomato soup, and we always just use garlic powder rather than fresh cloves.

Sounds good, thanks!!
So is this a good start?

Just want to make sure I’m ordering the right thing.
I've just started mixing Soylent with coffee for breakfast when I get up, the when I feel like it during the day at work. It's basically a hyper-nutritious mocha at that point that gives me everything I need.
Now I'll periodically make delicious complicated dishes when I feel like it, but the complete freedom to not have to really helps.
Original Coffiest, all three regular soylent flavours, and powder is available on Amazon Canada with subscribe and save too
In light of recent revelations, I noticed that the packaging of Soylent Drink had been changed on the shipment that I received yesterday. The Nutrition Facts side is a large sticker, not sure if it was to cover incorrect information or what.
With the subscribe option, I can save 15% off the ~$60 CAD price tag, which works out to cheaper than from the Soylent website after the abysmal exchange rate we deal with right now, bringing the price to around $50, and Amazon magically doesn't tack on any tax. Throw prime into the mix, and I'm not entirely dissatisfied.
This may seem like an odd suggestion, but you might want to give Soylent a try. The Cocao and Coffiest flavors are good. Stay away from the Regular and Nectar flavors though. Also keep in mind the Coffiest flavor has the same dose of caffeine as a cup of coffee.
They are about $3.25 a bottle, and each bottle is 1/5 of your daily calories and nutritional needs (400 calories and 20% of every vitamin you can imagine). The wife and I drink one for breakfast and then have a regular lunch. If we can't figure out anything good for dinner we have another.
They don't require refrigeration and keep for a year. Pretty ideal for when you are on a long haul for weeks at a time. They beat the hell of out fast food, that for sure.
I recommend getting a box or two of Soylent and taking it with you in checked luggage. I'll take a box of coffee and a box of chocolate and then go out to eat once or twice to break monotony. Breaks down to ~$3 a meal for breakfast/lunch/dinner/as often as you can tolerate them.

Complete foods:
Soylent is the biggest brand name in complete foods. Basically a food product, typically a liquid meal replacement drink (NOT a "protein shake"). Kind of like Ensure, but replaces a whole meal, and also has 100% nutrition. $29 for a 12-pack on Amazon right now:

Notes:
Meal Prep:
Here's my basic system:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mealprep/comments/afdqju/meal_prep_ideas/edyhgbu/
In a nutshell:
I do a lot of meal prep. I also use complete foods when I'm feeling lazy, or for emergency situations like if I'm stuck at work late & don't have dinner handy & just need a quick meal. These are the two best ways I know to manage your food budget. I mean, you could literally buy a car with how much money you'd save by making your food at home and/or using complete foods, not to mention feed yourself like a king and/or get amazing nutrition into your body.
Getting in shape:
Also, if you haven't done it yet, jump into the world of macros! As long as you're bothering to take control of your food budget, you might as well take care of your health too! Read up on IIFYM & use the free calculator here to generate your macros: (recommend using a burner email, if you have one)
https://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/
Basically, if you're not at all familiar with macros, it's very simple: you pick a goal, of which there are only three options IRL: lose weight, maintain weight, gain weight. Those are the only three things you can do to your body. Next, input your data & the calculator will generate your macros. In a nutshell, your stomach has 3 funnels to pull energy out of food: protein, carbs, fat. Your body needs all 3.
Math-wise, protein + carbs + fat = calories. You burn a certain number of calories just by being alive, plus any extra from moving around during the day. Eat fewer calories than that, you will lose weight (don't want to lose it too fast, do a google image search for "loose skin" if you don't believe me). Eat what you need & you will stay where you're at. Eat more & you will gain weight.
Let's destroy some myths: doesn't matter what you eat. Doesn't matter when you eat. If you were born a hundred years ago, your stomach would still be pulling out protein, carbs, and fat from whatever you ate. Maybe you get it from a donut & a protein bar today instead of hunting a deer 500 years ago, but your body doesn't care. Obviously, the more natural, whole foods you can eat, the better, but eating fast food or junk food isn't going to kill you. Every day is cheat day with macros!
Also, every diet in the world is based off macros. Once you understand macros & realize that it doesn't matter what food you eat or when you eat, as long as you hit your macro numbers every day, then things get a lot more clear. The more strict you are with hitting your macros, the better & faster result you will get.
This is all optional, but if you're going to go through the trouble of doing meal prep, why not get yourself a six-pack out of it? It's not any hard to use a $15 kitchen scale off Amazon to weigh your kitchen before you cook it than it is to not do that, you know? Save money, get in shape, eat awesome food, use complete foods when you're feelin' lazy. That's my system & I'm sticking to it! lol.
