I am starting to get very tired all throughout the day, like I have no energy.

Do yourself a favour: Maybe get rid of the scale, only weigh yourself at the gym r doctor's office [preferably not more than once a week
Maybe take the app off your mobile device and jot things down in a small note book during the day to put in at night.

I might be able to try doing this, or at least limit the amount of times I check each because it's a ridiculous number of times.

Bottom line:
You are not doing this in a healthy way.
Restrict your access to the measuring tools and come up with a healthy plan to exercise- please ask a doctor or close friend or mentor to assist you with this. I think having a second opinion may help you see what might be reasonable or not.
One more point:
You want to feel better about yourself and that is commendable.
But how much time are you now dedicating to dieting and exercise in general: And I mean thinking about what you are eating, are not eating, how many calories you "can" have, whether you did enough exercise or not.
What happens when you get on a scale and you haven't lost weight since the last time? I can't imagine that makes you feel very good, which makes some sense if you are trying to lose weight.
What doesn't make sense is that the time between weighing oneself may be hours.
All this focus and planning and restriction will eventually take over your life if you are not vigilant about getting a hold of it now.
Is food fun still? Sometimes we restrict and diet and guilt ourselves to the point where we feel BAD if we eat anything.
Which isn't right or healthy.

I might eventually talk to a doctor and see what their opinion is. I feel like I need to get to a certain weight first before I do though. It's going to be hard to change since right now I don't see anything wrong with it and food makes me upset now,I used to enjoy it, but like you said maybe a second opinion from a doctor will change my mind. It is taking up about 99.9 percent of my life right now which is extreme. Thank you for your informative reply
