I have too many health problems. I'm getting more and more depressed

So around when I was 13, I got an anal fissure which one doctor thought was haemorrhoids but after feeling around for any bumps in my anal area, she concluded that it was not that. but she didn't check for any cuts or anything else that it could possibly be and just concluded that I need more fibre in my diet. I lived through hell for the past 5 years and eventually I went to a different country to get my butt checked and they found an anal fissure. I went through a surgery where they stretched out my anus to let the cut heal on it's own but it only went away for like a month. Going number 2 is something I wish I never had to do because everytime I go, it hurts like glass shards coming out of my butt. the pain and discomfort lasts for a couple of hours after I go to the bathroom so I have to wait it out.

at around 15 or 16, I got this weird condition where I would have a "pins and needles" like pain on my palms and feet. I'm 18 now and the condition has become much worse. not only is it the pain anymore but I also get hives all over my hands and feet. It usually happens when I excercise or look at a video of someone doing parkour and stuff from a high place. and sometimes when it gets too hot. and the pain usually goes away after I start sweating. I can't even excercise anymore because of this. am I allergic to my own sweat?

I have a fungal skin condition which I contracted about 3 years ago when I accidentally put on an expired rash cream on some rashes I get on my legs due to a genetic skin condition. They were never itchy but not pretty to look at. But after I put the expired cream, itchy red and brown patches started forming on my skin and they spread to my hip area. anti-fungal cream only helps a little.

To top that off, I have a recurring yeast infection and I have no idea what is causing it. could be the previously mentioned fungus infection. I'm embarrassed to go back to the doctor again because I've already gone so many times.

I also have nasal drainage so I have to keep clearing my throat 24/7. and my head hurts so much whenever I wash my head.

I'm losing my will to live. I cant carry on like this. My health will only worsen with age.

    Has your thyroid function been checked? You are only young and need to go back to the doctor. what have those itchy red and brown patches been diagnosed as?

    Ask your doctor to do a thyroid function test.
