See your doctor: The most sure-fire way to know how to understand your symptoms is to get a professional evaluation. I suggest starting with your doctor and then seeing a specialist like a psychiatrist or psychologist if your doctor suggests it or refers you to someone. The positive news is that all of these conditions respond well to effective treatments. Don't delay, make an appointment so you can get better.

Anxiety/Depression: Depression is evidenced by neurovegetative signs/symptoms, such as anhedonia, lack of energy, changes in sleep/appetite, feelings of despair/hopelessness. Anxiety is evidenced by feeling keyed up & can't relax. Hypochondriasis is evidenced by multiple somatic complaints not based on physical evidence or are exaggerated.
