What to do with Hypothyroidism, insomnia, anxiety and stress at the same time?

I am male 28 years. Having Hashimoto disease and hypothyroidism. I am doing PhD and living far from my family. Its very difficult for me to sleep and having a lot of anxiety. Sometimes it feels really intolerable with all the stress and anxiety. What should I do?

Those two tests tell you that you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but they don't reveal anything about your actual thyroid hormone levels.  You need to be tested for Free T4 and Free T3 (not the same as Total T4 and Total T3) every time you go in for tests.  If tested for those, please post results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  If not tested already can you get those done?    Also hypothyroid patients are frequently deficient in Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin.  Can you also get those tested?

In trying to assess a person's thyroid status the most important consideration is always symptoms.  Do you also have any other symptoms?  Next in importance is biochemical tests.   Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
