You're at a very hard age. You're a young teenager girl and have a lot of pressure on you to be "perfect" in society, whether your realize this or not.
There is a problem here in that you believe something is wrong with you when nothing may be. If you keep telling yourself that something is wrong then you will begin experiencing the symptoms of the disorder in question. If you keep saying, "There MUST be something wrong with me!" Then your mind will begin fabricating symptoms to back that thought up.
Regarding the listed symptoms and my thoughts:
1. Tired all the time -- Stress can do wonders to your body. If you're stressed you can not sleep well or not have a good, deep sleep because of it. My guess would be that the stress of being 14 is causing this issue.
2. Forgetfulness -- Again, stress can do some amazing things to your body. When you're under stress your sleep isn't as good, meaning you aren't going to think clearly of the daytime and will easily forget information because of this.
3. Shaking -- Stress can cause you to be tense and nervous. Shaking is usually a sign that you are under a larger amount of stress.
4. Anxious -- See #3. This is what stress does to you.
5. Odd eating habits -- Again, stress can be the cause. People under stress may gorge themselves one day and eat very little the next with the vary amount of stress they are experiencing.
6. Short Attention Span -- Review #2. As a note, you don't have ADD. You could clearly sit down and type this out (most likely in a matter of seconds if not two minutes) meaning you CAN focus. People with ADD cannot focus that long. It's been overly diagnosed because the big man wants to get money from something and people, for some reason, believe having ADD more than some other disorders.
7. Weird aches and pains -- Stress and growth. Your body is QUICKLY growing right now so it's normal to have a few aches and pains from that. You shouldn't be in SEVERE pain but a few achy times is nothing to worry about, especially if you played hard a few days before, have been inactive for a few days, or are under a large amount of stress.
8. Moody -- This relates to stress as well.
You're 14. Your peers are constantly stressing you to be perfect for them. Being a girl, you have to constantly thinking about fashion, hair, make-up, accessories, how to say the right things, how to make people like you, how to get the hot guy, etc. Your peers put this pressure on you, believe it or not.
Then your parents are pressuring you to do well in school. They want you to make good grades, perfect A's would be best. They only want good for you so you shouldn't be mad at them. The problem arises in this:
If you're constantly trying to figure out how to be acceptable in front of your friends then you have little to no time to be good in school.
Your parents won't realize that because they're currently not teenagers and have probably long forgotten that amount of stress. They now stress about family, work, and bills while you're stressing over your entire high school experience.
Your doctor will, most likely, diagnose you with something. I had college psychology classes and my teacher told us that a few disorders were WAY over used so they could suck money from patients without spending time on working out their real problems. A lot of mental-therapy workers like to overly diagnose people with ADD/ADHD and bipolar because we ALL have some of those symptoms--but the catch it, SOME of the symptoms does not make the for the disorder.
If you ever saw a TRUE ADD/ADHD person you would know it. They can't sit still EVER. They can't focus long enough to write out three words on a sheet of paper. They can't sit down and chat with friends online or, hell, in person for that matter. They can't hold a conversation because their mind is constantly jutting back and forth between things.
And just because you have ups and downs in your life doesn't mean you're bipolar. Bipolar people aren't wired right. They get sad for no reason--when really great things are happening. They become furious in a minute, again, for no real reason. You may say, "Well, I should have been happy but I was real sad that day!" but the key is this:
Are you experiencing stress? Are there stress factors in your life? You are very young and at an odd age so the answer is, most likely, YES, you should be under stress.
Your problem is you're 14 and under stress.
Start from there and work your way to less stress and your symptoms will fade off.
Stop thinking something MUST be wrong with you--you're just stressed, most likely, and that's all.
For a last note, your hormones are insane right now since you are quickly maturing. Take that into consideration too.
See a doctor if you're truly concerned. They are the only people that can official diagnose you, but I do bet the real reason is the stress of being a teen. Make an appointment and talk to your doctor and see what they say if it makes you feel better.
Relax and enjoy teenager years and stop freighting over possibly being messed up. You're just fine. The reason your peers don't seem this way is because they hide it too ;) it'll be okay.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

As comrade mentioned, we're not entitled to diagnose you. The first reason is because we do not have a degree in medicine, and secondly, because of sad reason, we'll obviously give you an inaccurate diagnosis because these symptons could be almost any type of illness, or even nothing at all; possibly just something psychological, like a recent trauma that hit you pretty hard.
How old are you dear? You sound quiet young. If you are still in your teen years, then I think this is a sign that you're getting your period soon. Believe me, I've seen my friends who've been through worse, so there's not need to panic.
However, we all honestly recommend you see a doctor. If you're still in highschool then I recommend you go, and sit down to talk to your councelor instead. I recommend you prepare a list, and later catch her at a time when she's free so you'll be able to explain this situation to her. S/He'll be able to contact your parents, gently explain the situation to them, and then you can all decide what you're options are.
You might feel frightened, but you shouldn't be. There is nothing to worry about because you have people here to help, both online and in the real world to give you the support you ask for. There's nothing to be nervous about when approaching your councelor, or even your doctor. It's just having a soft conversation with them, and delicately explaining your symptons to them; like you're talking about it to a friend, really.
You're welcome to contact me on nestaphacien@gmail.com if you'd like to discuss this even further, or anything else for that matter.

Nobody can diagnose you accurately over the internet. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, we're not allowed to give medical advice.
To that end, I advise you to see a doctor if you're that concerned. Seeing him shouldn't worry you -- You'll be no worse off after the visit than you are right now. In fact, you'll be better off, because you'll know what's wrong (If there's anything wrong at all), and you'll know what you have to do to fight it.
In the future, please don't ask untrained volunteer advice-givers on what could be a serious medical issue. As awesome as we are, we're not doctors.

I don't know if you're expecting me to say you have a sickness, but it really sounds like this is happening because you aren't eating enough or properly. I get those symptoms when I don't eat enough or if I don't get enough iron (red meat).
Try eating healthy, well-balanced meals, and try not to stray below the 2000 calorie/day mark. Also, make sure you're getting enough sleep (about 8 hours), but don't overdo or go too much under that. Try this, and if you don't see a change, feel free to msg me.

well it sounds like you have anxiety which is common and everyone calls it a "problem" but in reality it's not. you need to clear your mind, breathe in deep breaths and relax. at least once a week you need a "free day" were you can just relax and not worry about anything. now being moody is a result from not eating properly and being tired. shaking is a result of the muscles contracting therefore you need to relax them, there are different techniques for every part of the body, IM me if you want them - there are a lot.
hope it helps

You should really go see a doctor and tell him all the symptoms you just listed up there.
It's very important, because a doctor can know more about your case. We don't know your medical history, and that could have something to do with what's wrong with you. Also, a doctor can actually see you face-to-face, and sometimes that helps.
You said you are very afraid of what the doctor might say...So why aren't you just as afraid of what we might say? It would be so much better to get an actual diagnosis from an actual doctor.
Be well.
