Unhappy scared

Ok I'm not diabetic but it runs in my family and lately I've been having a lot of random symptoms. Well, random as in I've never had them before. I'm fifteen years old and diabetes runs in my family. My aunt has it, my grandmother had it, her brothers have it, some of my cousins, etc. At the beginning of this year, I weighed around 127-132 pounds. Now, I weigh around 114-118. I didn't do anything to lose weight. I started having panic attacks in September, and lately I've had them more frequently. My skin is really itchy and dry. I always end up getting rashes on my face and neck, but that could be my facewash or my allergies. I'm allergic to all kinds of stuff. Lately I've had headaches just about all the time. I keep having weird episodes where I get really hot all of sudden, extremely dizzy and nauseated, then I throw up. Then I feel better after a couple of hourse. I get really sore all over my body. Friday night, I got dehydrated. Usually the amount of liquids I drink is enough for me. I couldn't even walk and I was shaking. My breathing was weird; I felt like I wasn't getting all the oxygen out of my breath or something... I don't know how to explain it. Then I drank a lot of water and I felt better for the most part. I've been pretty thirsty but it's not excessive or anything, and I'm still urinating normally and everything. I don't have blurry vision until I take out my contacts, and obviously that's normal. Lately my appetite has been really weird. I'm either hungry or the thought of food just makes me sick at my stomach. I've been really depressed, and that's normal for me when I'm about to start my period, but this depression started a week after I got off my period. I haven't really noticed a difference in my period either. I've been very irritated lately, and it's really effecting my life. My acne got pretty but now I'm on antibiotics for it, and its clearing up a lot.. I don't know if thats related to anything or not. People are noticing the difference in my personality and in my body. I don't know what to do. If its not Diabetes then what is it?? It could be hemochromatosis. Maybe its hormonal...
