Hi, Thanks for coming to ChatDoctorI can feel the pain you are going through since 2011Exhaustion and heart sore can be symptoms of uncontrolled hypothyroidism and complicated / unresolved griffins thing to do is to do a thyroid hormone level (T3, T4, TSH) checked, if they are not normal, then the symptoms for which you are worried about are because of hypothyroidism. Then consult an endocrinologistHypothyoridism is a risk factor for having such symptoms in response to stress (emotional crisis you are referring to)In addition, being in regular with a psychotherapist or interacting within people of your age etc. will help recovery
