Hey @Wheresmyeggs,
Welcome to ReachOuts youth community! Thank you for being courageous and sharing what you are going through. It sounds like the passing of your grandfather has really affected you and made you feel like you are in a different body. This would be scary and overwhelming to be experiencing. I would like to reassure you that you are not alone with how you’re feeling and what you’re going through. Reaching out for support has shown your resilience and courage which you should be really proud of!
Speaking to someone about what you’re going through can be really helpful, so I am wondering if you’ve told any family or friends about how you’re feeling since the passing of your grandfather? It can also be really helpful to see a professional like a GP or psychologist to explore why this might be happening for you. Have you spoken to your GP or a psychologist about this?
Going through grief and loss can be really difficult to manage, so it is important to take some time out and do some self care activities to make yourself feel better. So, I am wondering what you have been doing to take care of yourself during this time? If you’re interested in additional support, Kids Helpline is a free 24/7 phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25. I encourage you to also check out this topic on Grief and Loss that includes a number of articles with tips and advice.
An email has also been sent to check in with you offline, so please keep an eye out for that.
