Am i hypo?

Hey guys, im a dude and im only 19 years old, and i feel as if i have all the symptons for this diagnosis. I went to my doctor just yesterday and he told me that i need to get some blood work done to see if it truly is this.

I wanted to ask, do any of you ever feel in full control of your lives again? i get so depressed at times that i dont want to eat and sometimes im just the happiest kid ever. On a constant basis i get mood swings of happiness and sadness. I get real anxious, and at night i can hardly sleep. During the day im constantly checking in with myself, asking if im okay. I can feel my heart beating so fast and heavily sometimes that i get extremely scared and worried. When im alone my mind wonders off asking if ill ever be okay? My skin is really dry, i feel weak at times and sometimes i feel extremely full of energy.

What can this be? i seriously want this feeling to go away. This all started about 4 months ago when i took a hallucinating drug known as "Shrooms" Honestly ever since then i have not felt like myself. Im on a constant worry of myself and the people around me. I feel no motivation and lifes just really hard for me now.

I have really bad neck pains, also back pain. There are times where i dont even go to the restroom for about 2 days.
My life has been miserable the past 3 months.. i feel extremely helpless and frustrated. I want to feel in controll of my life again. Do you guys think this could be because of hypothyroidism? if not what else can it be, and if you know what sort of treatment can i take for it? :/

it could be your thyroid but a lot of your symptoms (not eating, insomnia etc) kind of sound like anxiety disorder.

You could have entirely knocked out your system with the rec drugs and now your paying the price trying to get your body back up to speed again.

considering you had stopped using drugs?

Get the labs. These drugs can have an adverse effect on your hormonal health more so shocking the adrenals first and building those back up is tough.

With using drugs whether street or many prescriptions other specialized hormones. estrogen/testosterone/dopamine/seratonin and a host of others all intertwine with thyroid and adrenal hormones and the whole picture needs to get fixed to really see improvement
