I'll research this a bit and give it a try. Thank you

Thank you for the tips!

I have checked it, it's fine...

I was exercising regularly and eating fine (I think). It's difficult keeping it up though when you feel very bad...

Thank you for this great advice. I will definitely try to talk to a doctor!

Thank you for the insight! Yes I think I have a problem and it definitely affects my life and my relations with my family :|

Thank you kindly for the tips and your personal story.

Thank you for the tip. Yes I guess I need to go to a psychologist or psychiatrist but it's very difficult for me to go and speak to him.

For the sleep apnea thing, doesn't sleep apnea mean that I will be loudly snoring? My wife hasn't complained about snoring ever.

What do you mean stuff that works for you? Is it a medicine for a psychological condition or for something else? I am living in EU and the health care here is better I believe. Also I have money to spent and can visit doctors at will.

I am not familiar with that condition. The physical pain is not constant nor very bad. I can function normally when I feel that pain. Also because it travels in my body doctor's don't really care about it.

I feel sad because I feel that I have some major health problem. If somehow I knew that I didn't have anything and all my problems stopped then I believe I'd feel better.

I don't talk to other doctors about being sad or not enjoying life or thinking about my health problems all the time. I am too shy to talk about that.

Sorry for the thread hijacking but I'd like to ask the HN crowd about my problems:

For the past three years I have various health related problems like brain fog, tiredeness, breathing trouble, pain all over my body and a general bad mood. These things come and go (some times are worse some better) but for these years I remember myself always having some difficulty.

I am very sad and can't enjoy anything anymore. I can't enjoy my family and I feel I am a problem to them for being always moody and sad. I don't want to go out with friends, only stay at home and do chores or play games. I am constantly afraid that I have a major health problem and try to think all the time what may I have or how I can get better. Actually I can't really think of anything else beyond my health problems.

However after visiting a number of doctors and done lots of exams they couldn't find anything.

Notice that I have never visited a psychiatrist or psychologist and I don't think that I had ever had any psychological problems. I may have some form of minor autism but that didn't stop me of being happy the years before.

Do you think that I have some psychological problems? Maybe depression or some major anxiety? Should I visit a psychiatrist? I can't think of what to say to the psychiatrist... Should I keep visiting other doctors to do more tests? Any help would be much appreciated.
