TL;DR: Gained too much weight after I fell and broke my arm + couldn't really move for a while. I have a lot of trauma related to sports, like I was forced to play football like any other Hungarian kid, and I was awful at it, which made others be angry at me for it, which made me reluctant to do it. Even if I manage to do it, I often get brutal, crippling muscle pain, which makes me fo it even less.

Since I"m Hungarian, I cannot rely on health care at all, especially mental health, as it was the very first thing that got cut, amd I cannot afford private care.

It doesn't work like that, and also I have zero chance at getting a job at a different state. Maybe I'll try to save up for a private neurologist, then get prescription for a better anti-eizure med, that allows me to skip meals without developing stomach ulcers, does not cause an increase in appetite, does not cause sleep issues, etc.

Your body and mind need food to heal properly. I don't know what your budget is or what you can access. If you can get it, fatty fish like sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon. If tinned, in olive oil if possible. Fermented foods. Added sugars are poison. Raw, unfiltered honey is ok sparingly (chewing honeycomb has the additional benefit of boosting your immunity of local pollen allergens).

Fresh vegetables, especially leafy greens, raw or cooked. Carrots. Pumpkin, squash, pumpkin seeds, walnut. Chicken. Apples. Milk and cheese, goat milk is excellent. Peanut butter is filling, but tree nut butters are better. Red meat protein sparingly. Stop eating before you feel full and wait ten or fifteen minutes, you'll feel satisfied. Apples, pears. Cheeses, especially stinky ones. Onions, garlic. Dates, figs. Sweet potato, white potato, but cooled and eaten cold or reheated.

I don't know if these foods are accessible to you, if I understand correctly, budgets can be very tight in Hungary. I wish you the best.
