Sounds just like Celiac disease and all the problems caused  by malnutrition because it causes malabsorption.  Iron-deficiency anemia, low magnesium, low B vitamins, low D, these cause terrible anxiety, skin problems.  I had SIBO.  Get the blood tests for Celiac and perhaps the upper endoscopy.  Even if the tests are negative, AFTER you have your results, go off gluten.  Get B12 shots.  Take iron and 750 mg of magnesium citrate (start lower to see if it causes diarrhea).  It will take some time to heal your gut, but still, if you are completely off gluten, you should start feeling a bit better in a week or two.  The anemia will take time to resolve and it steals your energy.  Take vitamin D3, but also get out in the sun.  The low mag causes the anxiety.

Hello~So many of your symptoms sound like severe anxiety. Some of them can be due to adrenal malfunction, low or high thyroid function, and female hormones being unbalanced. My suggestion would be to see a good endocrinologist and have some tests run in these areas.
