Are these recent symptoms, or ongoing? If they're ongoing, it could be something like diabetes.
The cold hands and feet could be bad circulation. The dehydration could be a virus like mono or something similar - you need bloodwork done to find that out though.
Blurred vision can be a side effect of exhaustion, it happens to me sometimes and I have 20/20 vision.
The sleep thing and having difficulty gaining weight can both be part of depression.
The sleep thing made me think of hypersomnia, actually, where you're always tired no matter how much you sleep. One of my friends had that issue for awhile.
Welcome to the ranks of undereducated geniuses. My IQ was 150 last they checked, and it's no easy task being intelligent in a school where they curb their curricula to fit people with IQs of 100 or lower.
But like I said before, GO to the doctor. We can't diagnose you legally or logically. Tell them your symptoms, let them order blood tests and all that.
Good luck.
