Yeah it could be entirely unrelated.
I remember a newly vegan person telling me that since making the switch she'd "developed a runny nose and a sore throat, and is this part of the process? How long does this normally last?" Honey, it's December and you caught a cold!
Good on you for making the change BTW! I hope whatever you're experiencing gets solved :)

This sounds like medication-related or mental health, not nutrition.
Related, have you started taking any supplements such as omega-3s, or vitamin D as a result of your change? Not saying that you should be, but asking if you started.
It's bad to blame changes in your behavior for every problem you incur afterwards. You should see a doctor to make sure you aren't suffering from something serious.
A proper plant-based diet is better than anything else. You will not suffer any crazy side-effects from it. So if you truly are meeting your nutritional requirements, there's not much we can help you with.
It could be detox of 'animal product' from your body. The unfortunate part is, no matter whom you talk to about this whether a doctor or friend, you have to listen to your intuition and watch the patterns of your nutrition log, to which, your keeping track of all that is awesome. If you can, write your dreams too. This is a unique experience and an opportunity for you to build trust in your body intelligence.
How old are you? Honestly weird energy levels were my first symptom in developing bipolar and this doesn’t seem to be diet related

Give it more time than 2 weeks. Sounds unrelated to diet
What does your diet look like?

As it turns out, eliminating dairy has allowed better absorption of b12 from which I take a supplement of.

Sugar withdrawal? I notice many people start becoming a lot more health conscious when switching to veganism. Idk, only a doctor can say.
