Hormone imbalance? Doctors didn’t take me seriously and I’m feeling frustrated.

So at the beginning of last year I noticed some symptoms that were concerning to me. Severely dry hair and skin, intense insomnia, vaginal dryness with sex, increase in body hair and feeling intensely angry 96% of the time. I went months with this among other symptoms thinking maybe it’ll go away. I upped my water intake, tried my hardest to sleep well (with no success) but nothing was working. I ended up getting bloodwork and seeing my PCP and a new gynecologist. I explained to both of them what was going on, listing the ever growing symptoms I’ve been experiencing. Both didn’t take me seriously. The gynecologist said I was just anxious and that was that. I was so disappointed. It’s one of those things where you just know something is wrong. I know my body and after experiencing this for 1 1/2 years I’m at the end of my rope. Should I request more bloodwork? See a new doctor? I’m so so tired of feeling this way.
