Struggling with symptoms-not sure if they relate to eachother or not

Other conditions
1

Hello,
Im a female, mid 20s no diagnosed health condition-physical or mental. Struggling with these symptoms for the past few years, worsening as I get older-
For a bit of background- Ive always had low level anxiety and low mood since the age of 11.
Things are now impacting my quality of life hugely which I find very upsetting.

Ive been to GP and MH service but have not found overlly helpful, however due to symptoms I cant always describe things well or remember to say certain things. not sure Im taken seriously..
Multiple bloods- fine, B12 had been low but supplementing and now fine.
I take omega 3, calcium with vit D each day.

Not on meds currently but have tried multiple anti-depressants earlier this year and year before that.
**
Physical symptoms
: Weakness- I used to be part of sport clubs etc but health got worse from about the age of 16 onwards and since then cant go long periods of running/light weights
: Noticeably shaky at times ( not due to anxiety)
: Pressure changes in head- each day and can feel at night
: Shooting pain down sides of head at night
: GI issues- Im coeliac and lactose intolerant- avoid both for years- have gas no matter if I eat or not/establish a routine or not- sluggish system? follow a healthy diet
: Light headed and dizzy often
: No energy -Im much less active now, find exercising no longer helps me feel better
: Joints can ache/stiff -this fluctuates- feels inflammatory in nature?

Brain functioning related symptoms
: Brain fog always- this use to fluctuate but no longer does sadly- can never think clearly , rarely remember things
: Reduced memory and overall brain functioning- struggle to get organised, structure my day, sit and concentrate on a book or text
: Feels like not enough energy from food is nourishing my brain- feels hazy and flat
: Reduced spacial awareness- this impacts my driving and when around others, I often look lost
: Slow reflexes, slow movement at times, slow thinking and processing
: Feels like Im half asleep and half awake- any loud noise feels like it wakes me up temporarily
: Do not feel connected to my own body, nothing feels real to me, cant feel my emotions
: Reality is not at all clear- impacting my judgement of situations and others.

Overall its a horrible existence so far, any guidance or sharing your own experience would help me hugely. Im not entirely sold on the idea this is purely a mental health concern due to physical symptoms.
Thankyou for any comments.

Total shot in the dark here, but I have experienced similar things in the past. What has worked, and continues to work for me, was working with a chiropractor to put the curve back into my neck. My neck was very straight, and I would bet yours is too. Good luck.

I have alot of these symptoms and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But usually there is something that causes the onset of symptoms such as a virus or antibiotics

Hi leah
How’s your diet, are you big, small, short, tall do you suffer with an eating disorder and what work do you do

Thankyou for your comment,

Nothing that I can think of pre symptoms such as antibiotic use or a virus, but its interesting to know.

Hi again, when someone says petite it normally means very slim and then you say you have an active occupation.
You also have a pescatarian diet with I imagine low carbs, have you clocked how many calories you take in a day and when was the last time you had your blood work done.
I’m asking these questions for a perticular reason
