You mention you are tired. Have you had your thyroid checked? That turned out to be the problem for me and a couple of friends with similar issues.

I haven't although I do have several matching symptoms for about 10 years. I had a blood test done but nothing was out of the ordinary; I'll have to ask for it specifically perhaps.

Did they do a TSH test or Thyroid panel? There are 100's of different blood tests...

They said they did a check for "everything" but I didn't ask what "everything" meant. From my extremely limited research, "everything" isn't everything, though and thyroid is skipped a lot. I had some tests in the past from a family doctor but nothing came up for thyroid. I'm worried about giving out my symptoms because they align very strongly with depression; apparently a lot of people get diagnosed with anti depressants instead of thyroid conditions.

Sometimes it feels like someone is holding down the brakes; I want to start my own company, I want to make friends, I want to get outside and explore, I want to read, maybe I could find a date or something but I don't have the energy. I don't know if it's a health thing or if I just need to watch more motivational videos.
