What is the meaning of "gutted"? is it upset or bring out intestine?

But I need to find out. Immediately. I stand, legs wobbly, prepared to leave.
Jonah stops me, an apologetic look pinching his face as he says, “Unfortunately, there’s more.”
He opens the folder, flips to a page in the back. “There’s an incident where she ODed.”
“I know,” I say. “It’s from before the alleged name change.”
“You might want to look at where she overdosed.”
Jonah points to the name of the facility where Tina Stone was treated.
Blackthorn Psychiatric Hospital, located just on the other side of the woods from Pine Cottage.
Looking at it makes me instantly woozy. Worse than when I woke up that morning. Almost worse than the moment I realized I had beaten Ricardo Ruiz to within an inch of his life.
Tina Stone was a patient at Blackthorn.
The same time He was.
The exact same time He went to Pine Cottage and gutted my world.

To gut a building means to destroy the inside of it so that only its outside walls remain.

The author uses it figuratively to mean that his life had been destroyed, leaving only a shell (his physical being).
