I merely get diagnosed next to hypothyroidism?

I had a checkup last week and had to lug a blood test. Today i went to get my results and my doctor told me I have hypothyroidism. Not severe, but I still have it, and they put me on a semi-low dose of Levothroid (levothyroxine) that I have to take for 3 weeks and afterwards go back to the doctor to get another oral exam and see how it's working out for me. I feel terrible, I'm 19 years old, and I quality like this is going to impact my life for good. I never have any medical problems, never been to the hospital, ER, etc. I'm just really scared as to what this could imply. My doctor and I had a long talk about it, but I'm still really unsure and terrified.
anyone who's gone through this or has it, give me some advice? I purely want to know if my life will be normal or even the same again. Has it interfered near your life at all? I also heard it can motivation thyroid cancer, which is just awful.

Thanks for everyone's support :]

I feelo bad that you get hypothyroidism, this is a terrible sickness to get. You have no control over your solidity. I used to be a size 5 and I went up to size 12 in 6 weeks. I cannot lose this weight and they can never carry my medication so i can lose weight. I suffer with this everyday. I wish you luck, conceivably you will have a better doctor than I have.
