Stress on your body
I am 18 years old and I experience alot of stress and anxiety all the time.
Some of the signs I think have dawned on me physically:
1. My muscles and joints always ache.
2. I am so tired all the time.
3. I get frequent headaches.
4. I feel weak alot.
5. My energy level is so low.
6. I am insomniac alot.
7. My concentration level is very low.
8. I forget things so easily.
9. I always get bumps and sores on my arms and head.
Are these signs of stress/anxiety? Or is it something else, because I am a vegetarian and I am thinking maybe my energy is low and I can't sleep because lack of protien and vitamins and after I became vegetarian I started feeling so weak all the time. But I am also so stressed to. So I don't know. In what other ways can stress affect you? How do you cope and what are ways to relieve aches in your muscles? And what does vegetarianism do to you overall, I know I am one but don't know everything about it that it does to your body. Because after I became vegetarian I started cutting and pulling out my hair. I began to get alot of strange urges and tension build-ups.

Just speculation from my own experience, but you may be lacking some B Vitamins.
I am a semi-vegetarian, and occasionally I find myself feeling tension for no apparent reason. A few hours after taking a B Complex vitamin, however, I feel better. From what I've read, the B vitamins serve to regulate the operations of the nervous system.
The best kind of vitamins to buy are the ones that are natural, that are made from actual food products. These sorts of vitamins absorb better into the system.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

This hopefully isn't the case, but these are also symptoms of Meningitis. Are the muscles in your neck hurting? As well as the rest of your muscles? I remember whenever I had meningitis I had frequent, pounding headaches for weeks prior. This is because meningitis is a inflamation of the 'mengis' around your brain, resulting in our heads to hurt. You might want to get this checked out by a hospital because meningitis can be deadly if not treated.
I hope this is not the case, and if it isn't- good! It might just be like you said- a ton of stress, but I'd still get this checked out by a doctor.
Since you've become a vegetarian you've cut off a lot of your protein supply, this can effect your body is tremenious ways. Try getting protein in other ways such as through pills.
Reliving muscles can be achieved by simply taking some Aleve or some Advil.
*Massages help me whenever I'm stressed. Maybe you should try one*

Well for the vitamin thing...you should take vitamin pills! And drink orange juice, milk, etc. Those things aren't meat so there was no reason to give them up.
Yeah, I do think that's what's causing your problem. Maybe you should go see a doctor.

It sounds to me like you are detoxing. How long have you been a vegitarian? These are all symptoms of detoxing with the exception of pulling and cutting your hair.
First I would suggest that you vist a Doctor and have a physical done. Keep in mind that a Doctor will most likely not understand the detoxing process but I think it is a good idea that you eliminate anything physical first. There are usually free clinics everywhere. Check yourlocal area. If the Doctor doesn't find anything physically wrong with you then you might go on a detox program. There are several of them out there such as "The Master Cleans". I like to juice my own fruits myself. Simply find something that you enjoy and start off with a 3 day cleans. When you come off of the cleans start eating foods like fruit first and then graduate up to more complex foods very slowly. This should take about 3 days. Then the next month you may want to go on a 7 day cleans. When you introduce your foods do it as a mono diet. This means that if you eat a banana first you eat only bananas for the day. You want to do this because you are checking for a food allergy. It is also kinder to your digestive system when reintroducing food after you've been fasting. You would do this for about 7 days. Just because you are a vegitarian it doesn't mean you can't be allergic to certain foods. The biggest culprit in the vegitarian diet is soy. You might want to go ahead and eliminate that all together if you are eating it.
Now for the cutting and tearing your hair out. I think there is something else going on here. You need to seek a mental health councelor of some kind. I'm really concerned about this self distructive behavior. It is not a result of your diet. Please do yourself a favor and go to your family and friends and let them know what is going on. It sounds to me like you feel out of touch and this is a symptom of some events that feel like they are beyond your control. Please take care of yourself.
