It all depends on how long this has been going for.
If it's been a short period of time, then it's likely just the flu.
If it has been an ongoing problem, have you had your blood iron tested? A lot of teenagers (especially girls) have low blood iron, which leads to a lack of energy.
Don't self-diagnose... your doctor always knows better. Remember, they went to school for at least 8 years for it.

The typical ‘mono test’ is reasonably reliable, and in fact, the exact same test would be positive if you had lupus, although it isn't used to diagnose lupus. So if you didn't test positive for mono, then you probably don't have lupus either.
If your symptoms for mono have persisted for over a month, then you might still have mono, but a negative test results. If the symptoms have not persisted that long, then the test is probably accurate and you don’t have mono.
Take your doctor's advice on this one and don't try and self-diagnose. If you are unhappy with one doctor's handling of your case, find another, but rely on someone with real knowledge, not strangers online.

possibly but if you have got tested and it has came back negative both times then it's possible you haven't too
