With the joint pain, and the anxiety and depression.....I would also get your Anti-TPO and thyroid anti bodies checked.....could be Hashimoto's which is a whole different set of symptoms and needs to be managed more aggresively than plain hypothyroidism.  Hip pain can be a sign of autoimmune inflammation.  Make sue to ask for these in addition.

You could...those a pretty classic thyroid symptoms.  Get your thyroid checked out; simple blood work will get you started.  Make sure your doctor tests FREE T3 and FREE T4 as well as TSH.  It's very important to specify FREE on those two tests.  If free isn't specified, you will get total T3 and total T4 which don't provide nearly as much information.
