Since GCSEs a year and a bit ago my mental health deteriorated I cried before every exam but came out with good results and went to a good new sixth form . However when I got there the jump was massive and I went back into the same state . Come January February time both my closest Grandparents who brought me up passed away . Cried myself to sleep all the time but stayed strong in front of family and felt relatively normal in front of family . Lead to me getting badish grades in my mocks . now just little things set me off but I don't show it . Little things my parents say I just wish I had my grandma and I started crying in my room . Little things get to me and I'm just always tired and drained . I feel disconnected from my friends and family and just generally drained .

Idk if I'm being dramatic or emotional or if I actually need help

I am so very sorry to hear about your grandparents. It is normal to feel sad after a death but it can be helpful to talk about it to someone who is not emotionally involved the way your parents are

Does your school have a counsellor? If it does go and see them to start with. You might also find it helpful to contact a bereavement counselling service. The Cruse charity website has a section dedicated to young people called "Hope Again"
