What Do These Following Lab Reports Indicate?

Reports are normal
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, I think that you are being unnecessarily apprehensive. If you let the internet guide you, one thing that it does not make you aware of is the scale. On the internet, unless a scale is mentioned, the picture of a bacteria (bacterium) could be of the same size as the largest mountain. If you attribute equal weightage to both, you are just getting misguided. In real life, a bacteria will never be of the same size as the largest mountain. The same holds for the health diagnoses you mention. You are unable to distinguish between what is probable and what is not. Medical professionals take years to master that. I would insist you to rely on medical personnel and their opinion for health problems.
Your report of Anti-TPO as well as Anti-Rheumatoid factor are normal. It does not indicate temporary hypothyroidism or hashimoto. Why would you unnecessarily consider yourself at increased risk or to have an autoimmune disorder? Rather, if you have any specific complaints do let me know and I will try to guide you accordingly towards resolution.
Feel free to write back.

Thyroxine supplementation is essential.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. The elevation of TSH indicates hypothyroidism which occurs when the thyroid gland is not adequately functioning and requires additional stimulation in the form of TSH. You need thyroxine supplementation and dietary modification would not be adequate. Your symptoms could be due to hypothyroidism and supplementation of thyroxine should help in their resolution. Anxiety could indeed be a contributory factor. Discuss with your doctor for prescription of long term anxiolytics like fluoxetine.

No need to panic
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. "Rest of the life" is a long time and it is not advisable to speculate. Moreover, for the rest of your life you need to keep eating your food, continue to breathe air etc. Are you worried about that or plan to somehow stop those? If not, do not bother about thyroxine. If your body needs it and cannot supply it adequately, you need to procure it from outside. The side effects of NOT taking thyroxine would be much more and so I would rather avoid answering that question.
What you inferred as adrenal fatigue could have connections with hypothyroidism.
