Hi, Thanks for coming to HCM

I can feel the pain you are going through since 2011

Exhaustion and heartsore can be symptoms of uncontrolled hypothyoridism and complicated / unresolved grief

First 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 for are because of hypothyoridism. Then consult an endocrinologist

Hypothyoridism is a risk factor for having such symptoms in response to stress (emotional crisis you are referring to)

In addition, being in regular with with a psychotherapist or interacting within people of your age etc will help recovery
