I dont know how to cope
I lost my grandad and it was 1 year since he passed. I cant sleep properly and sometimes over sleeping
Im over eating. I dont want to get out of bed or get showered and dressed
I cry daily and finding it extremely difficult. And now my friend has been told she has terminal cancer.

It sounds like you are really struggling at the moment and that you could do with some extra support. It may be worth making an appointment with your GP to see what kind of help they can offer. You deserve help and support.
