Re: tw//: domestic violence. self harm.
@eylah it sounds like you’ve been through a lot. It’s not nothing. It’s ok to cry and you’re allowed to feel all these things.
Re: Confusion
This is such an incredibly brave thing to have done @Anonymoose1. I'm really sorry to hear that you've had awful threats made to you by your parents - you've done the right thing to report this and keep yourself safe. That's not an easy thing to do and so you've shown a lot of courage. 
What a horrible experience with the police. It's disappointing and frustrating when they don't respond in the way we need them to. The reactions and questions from the officers sound incredibly insensitive and invalidating, and it's understandable that this made you feel awful. You deserve to be heard and treated with respect and empathy.
I'm glad to hear that you're staying with a friend during this time. It's good that you have someone supportive to be with while you navigate this. Karma Nirvana's advice to ask for a Liaison Officer sounds like a positive step. Being persistent can be really tough, but it's important that your report is taken seriously.
While you're staying with your friend, are there things that could help you manage the stress, even just a little bit? It might be helpful to find small ways to take care of yourself during this time.
How are you feeling about the support you've received from Karma Nirvana and your friend? It sounds like they're providing some of the understanding and advice that you need right now. You've done so well to reach out to them.
Keep us updated @Anonymoose1

Re: Nervous all the time but for no reason at all / habit I formed
Hi @Amy22 you don’t need to apologise and you’re not wasting anyone’s time
I can relate to feeling more anxious when I’m not busy with other things (like in the school holidays my thoughts just get out of control). Was there like a specific trigger you noticed for this? Like for example if something happened a couple of weeks ago that bothered you or something. Maybe you could try documenting when you’re feeling like this so you can try and see what’s causing it. I’m glad you’ve been able to talk to your mum about things

Re: my mum. :( ( addiction )
I can see why you might be feeling that way. It does sound very overwhelming and a lot for any one person to handle. Are you doing anything to take care of yourself to take your mind away what's happening with your mum? I know that might be really difficult to do when she's been so unwell
Re: my mum. :( ( addiction )
I'm really sorry to hear that your mum has been unwell, it must be so difficult for you all. It looks like she's been in safe hands and i'm really glad to hear that. I hope she feels better soon and that you are looking after yourself during this tricky time
