 Honey there is more to this than meets the eye, is there any possibility that you could be pregnant at all?
Just a thought, not trying to scare you at all but the tiredness and fainting is definitely worrying, when did the doctor take your blood btw? Was it very long ago?
You could be deficient in some vitamins or minerals and perhaps ask your mum to go with you to Holland and Barrett or something.
Do you feel like you got some good answers at the doctors or did you feel fobbed off and rushed out of the door? Get your mum involved if you feel like you are not getting to the bottom of this, has she been worried about you at all?
It could be a very simple thing to fix but don't leave it as fainting is normally due to lack of sugars in the body or lacking in vital vitamins and minerals so you don't want to flake out in the middle of nowhere on your own.
Mums have a habit of getting more answers if you are not getting them yourself, doctors can dismiss younger patients if they go on their own but put a mum OR dad in front of them demanding some answers and you will be amazed at what additional tests you may get sent for.
You have done the best thing but not sitting at home worrying about this but by opening up and discussing it so keep it going and make sure that you are eating plenty of calories during your day, do you ever skip meals btw?
Keep us posted OK.

Well i'm a vegetarian so this could be it.. I do quite a bit of exercise, do take long baths (love them), I do live at home yes and my mum cooks for me quite a lot.
I've got a boyfriend (been with him almost a year and half) but you could be right about depression, because things can be really tough between us and sometimes our relationship feels more like a battle..

I agree with the others that you need a balanced diet and exercise. Exercise can actually make you feel less tired. And if you're fed up, it makes you tired as you lost your zest for life, so it becomes a viscious circle. Get some advice from your family, friends and doctor about these things.

Sweetheart I agree with Annalisa in the fact that if you are eating differently then this could be a contributing factor. Are you a vegetarian or do you eat meat at all?
Perhaps you could be deficient in some sort of vitamin or something, did the bloods show anything at all, apart from testing for the anaemia?
Are you worried or stressed out about anything in particular? You could be slightly depressed and this can make you so low that you feel so tired even after 8 hours sleep, you wake up feeling like I need 8 hours sleep now.
Do you eat any sugary foods but skip those full of nutrition?
Do you exercise at all, swim or anything?
Do you chill out to music or have nice long soaks in a bath or shower?
Do you live at home or away?
Does your mum cook for you?
Are you denying anything for yourself perhaps to make a boy/guy notice you at all?
There are many factors that could be having an effect on you so it is a case of narrowing down what is going on as this could be more to do with your feelings right now than necessarily what you are eating etc?
Think about what has been suggested and see if anything fits at all.
Here anytime OK.
