Thyroid or birth control?

I have a plethora of symptoms that I've been plagued with for quite sometime. I don't have the ability to qualify for health insurance through my job, although I was qualified for a Medicaid program during and following my pregnancy but have been unable to confirm whether or not my coverage is still active so I may not have the option to see a doctor anytime soon. My symptoms include overwhelming anxiety in most day to day situations regardless of severity, clouded thinking making it difficult to have clear and productive thoughts, loss of short term memory almost immediately after thinking/hearing/reading about something, a large drop in metabolism activity, total loss of libido as well as pain during intercourse, a feeling of incompetence when it comes to completing simple tasks, inability to motivate myself or stay motivated, and occasional digestive problems(stomach pains, chronic nausea, etc). This is all greatly affecting my day to day life as well as my relationship with my significant other. He's having a difficult time supporting me because my symptoms and actions that follow make him feel unappreciated and as if I don't have a real concern for his happiness or our family's future. Which I promise is not how I really feel, I just have a difficult time getting past my "mental fog" a lot and it comes off that way. These symptoms are not who I am as a person, I know the real me is still inside somewhere but I can't seem to reach her under all of this junk! The only two thinks I'm thinking could be causing this are perhaps a thyroid condition or my birth control. I need help, I hope someone has some answers.

side note: I am not on any regular medications although I do have the Nexplanon birth control implant.

Excerpt from Pretty In Primal - Dopamine Deficiency (or, I'm Not Lazy After All!)..

"Here is a list of symptoms of dopamine deficiency (with my emphasis added on symptoms I identify with):

1. Physically fatigued easily (Sometimes.)
2. Sleep too much and trouble getting out of bed (Yes on trouble getting out of bed!)
3. Reduced ability to feel pleasure
4. Flat, bored, apathetic (Yes on feeling flat)
5. Low drive, motivation & enthusiasm (Yes, and yes.)
6. Depressed
7. Difficulty getting through a task even when interesting to me (HELL yes!)
8. Procrastinator/little urgency (Mmmm-hmmm!)
9. Shy/introvert (Yes.)
10. Mentally fatigued easily (Yes.)
11.Difficulty paying attention and concentrating (A little bit!)
12.Slow thinker and/or slow to learn new ideas
13.Put on weight easily
14.Crave uppers (e.g. caffeine/sugar/nicotine/diet soft drinks/cocaine/amphetamines)
15.Use these improve energy/motivation/mood
16.Prone to addictions (e.g. alcohol)/addictive personality
17.Light headedness
18.Reduced libido and/or impotence (sometimes on the libido)
19.Family history of depression/alcoholism/ADD

Factors which reduce dopamine levels (with my emphasis added on factors I have):

1. Chronic stress
2. Inadequate sleep (Like, DUH!)
3. Hypothyroidism (Bingo! Hashimoto's!)
4. Lead, arsenic and cadmium exposure
5. Under-methylation (Possibly- I suspect my dad's family under-methylates their B12. They have a strong history of Alzheimer's and dementia.)
6. Tyrosine (precursor) deficiency
7. Magnesium, iron, zinc & vitamins B3/B6/C/D deficiency
8. Excess copper levels (I have melasma and used to be vegetarian, so copper might be a factor.)
9. Genetic dopamine receptor abnormalities
10.Chronic opioid, alcohol & marijuana use
11.Adrenal insufficiency (Definitely!!)
12.Glutathione deficiency
13.Parkinson's Disease
14.Influenza
15.Estrogen deficiency (Yes.)
16.Human growth hormone deficiency"

I think you need to test for TSH, Free T4, and Free T3.  That would confirm if it is a thyroid problem.  If you cannot get those done through a doctor, there are on line companies such as HealthCheck USA, that charge a reasonable amount to send you to a local lab for a blood draw for those tests.  Here is a link to info on those tests.

If possible for you I would also suggest testing Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin.  When you have test results, if you will post them, along with reference ranges shown on the lab report, we will be glad to help interpret and advise further.
