Study up on adrenal fatigue. Your symptoms are consistent with it. Not to suggest it's that simple or straight forward, because something else is causing the adrenals to be over stressed.

Bare basics, mandatory in my opinion if you want even a chance at improvement:

Very low or no caffeine.
Very low or no sugars.
Organic fruits and veggies should make up most of your meal, meat should be lean, fowl better than beef.
Rhodiola rosea
Exercise softly, short spurts, gas tank almost empty
Regular sleep schedule
High dose Vit D and C
High dose B vitamins in their pre-metabolized active forms (not the cheap OTC stuff which is not biologically active)
Good multi vitamin/mineral
Avoid strenuous exercise, makes it worse.

Could go on and on.

Not suggesting these things will cure you, but rather, provide pavement on the road that gets you there. That said, rhodiola by itself should make a remarkable improvement.

All of these -even as simple as vitamin C - can knock you for a loop if adrenals are weak - so be mentally prepared to do whatever small doses you need in order to tolerate, and then over weeks and months gently increase doses.

For example my dose of Vit C is 1000mg morning, 500mg lunch, 1000mg dinner - but in my bad days, start of vitamin c, I could barely handle 50mg, tiny chunks off the pill, tiny amounts from inside a capsule. It took me a year to get where I am, had to back off a few times, went too fast.

Rhodiola - amazing antistress, anti-anxiety, pro-sleep, anti-depressant, pro-energy, pro-adrenals....but first days or weeks can be activating, stimulating, insomnia, nervous. So while my current maintenance dose is 100mg, it took me weeks to get there starting at 5mg, then 10mg, then 25mg, 50mg, 75mg, finally 100mg.

Anyway take a look at adrenal fatigue. Read the symptoms and see if you think they sound like you or not.
