It is depression: Anorexia is the name of those symptoms. Adding fatigue, hopelessness and lack of pleasure is depression. Low vit d and hashimoto's thyroiditis are two easily curable conditions that can cause depression. Have a complete check-up addressing physical and mental issues. Visualizing positives to release endorphins and exercise like pretend jump roping for a total of 60 minutes a day helps.
