You definately need to seek professional help again.
No offense but you are being a fool. I can say that because I was in your exact shoes no too long ago. I dealt with the same exact symptoms you have described and now that I have sought treatment I kick myself for the time I have lost by being stubborn and not selecting treatment.
Here's what you do. I like you had several bad experiences with doc's before I found one that I liked. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doctor shopping. You are the customer and if you are not satisfied with your treatment find another. I visited two doc's before I found one that I could communicate with and see eye to eye.
I highly recommend Wellbutrin. It took a few weeks to work fully but I noticed an improvement in my symptoms after the first week. It has changed my life and opened so many doors for me that I had previously closed to due my condition. It really gave me a new lease on life. I don't plan on taking it forever but for now it is helping and I don't want to rock the boat. It hasn't effected my sex drive in the least, I eat like a horse and my workouts are great. I know what you are going through right now, seriously. Please don't make the same mistake I did, life is too short. If you need anybody to talk to feel free to PM me.

your tired because your probably not being nutritionized properly, and you havnt moved in fucking 5 months...
depression sucks, but join a gym and lift...this is a fitness forum. lifting is one of my favorite things in life, and i hardly just started, so maybe it will make you happy too.
see friends, being alone worsens things...find stuff to do, dont stay alone and think

Damn, life was definitely different at 17 than it is for me today only five years later. For me, life was a lot simpler. Not everyone is that lucky. The best thing you can do is go see another doc. Don't ask for advice from people on a discussion board. We can tell you how to stab someone in the back, how to get revenge, how to ask someone out, etc, but we can't help you deal with something that is a serious problem. A doctor can give you real help. Just because one didn't work out doesn't mean that no doctor will be able to help. Give it a chance.
And give up the cigarettes! You're only 16 and way too young to already be hooked on the things!

well,I dont do drugs,not anymore anyways.I mean I used to get drunk almost 5 days a week,but I havent had a drink in all this time. Out of all the drugs I did by the way,recreational and pharmacuetical, the only thing I have been addicted to is cigarettes. I have been at 1 pack a day for about a year now,dont even remeber when I first started it was so long ago.
I have researched fitness and nutrition,and have become knowledgable in it as well.I just cant seem to make myself implement it( smoking also slows me down in that area,but when I try to quit,my symptoms all come on at once and its pure hell,so I give back in)
On my nutrition-I weigh about 135-140 always. I never go over,not "dieting" or anything,seriously I eat whe hungry until full(example some and most days I prob.dont eat enough,like 2000 cals at max,terribly if I was to workout,but today I ate 7 hamburgers(home grilled) and potato soup+other stuff and I am still hungry,(all this in about7 hours,thats about how long I have been awake.
I dont know much about amenia or my thyroid, I do know I probally have something wrong with my prostate however. Usually I dont take anything for sleep,unless I am sick,then I just "self medicate" I get chronic bronchitis(2-3 times a year) so I usually only self med.with albuterol and hydrotussin(codeine-like) when Im sick.Other than that med free
What I guess I wanna know is IF I put myself through hell(diet/exercise alot)
and properly of course,will fatigue just not go away?

Sounds like your fatigue is due to insomnia & depression. I really wouldn't know though, i think even doctors get 50% of all diagnosis wrong, a layman probably gets closer to 80% wrong. Insomnia is usually due to mental problems. I dont know how you can fix those. Drugs and therapy i guess.
If i were in your shoes id start trying antidepressant herbs and drugs, keep going through them until you find one that works. You may have to try 10 to get one that is a keeper but it'll be worth it if it makes your life a little better.
Also, since im pulling diagnosises out of my ass, maybe you should check to see if you have sleep apnea. that could factor into yoru sleep problems and fatigue.

Seek professional help.
I'm serious here. You already know that you have a problem, you just need to be willing to face it. If one doctor didn't help. find another. Don't spend anymore time than you already have feeling like this. No the answer isn't always medication, but hopefully a new doctor can help you live life. You are far to young to be living like this.
Good luck.
