Neglected hypothyroidism while might not seem a big issue can be detrimental and fatal.
No you cannot manage it with diet amd meditation since there is a deficiency of hormone which has to be supplemented.
Vitamins are supplemented with diet not hormones. You will have other ill effects like menstrual abnormalities and weight issues.
Next Steps
Consult a physician and start medications immediately.
