Is it normal to be constantly exhausted or is it the hypothyroidism?

Discussion

Heyyy! I (25F) have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s since I was 17 ( I also have Celiac). Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I felt consistently energized, even after a full nights sleep. I’ve always assumed it’s just how everyone feels, but recently I’ve noticed that my boyfriend is able to stay up late for days on end and has energy to do a multitude of things, whereas I have to sleep like 8 hours every night, chug caffeine, and I’m still not feeling energized. Basically I just push myself to do work and socializing and chores, even when I’m feeling completely bone tired. Do y’all feel similarly? Is this just a normal, non autoimmune experience?

(P.S. I’ve been on levothyroxine since my dx, I can tell the difference if I don’t take it regularly, and my levels are good)
