Hi @ellie2000 I hope you had a nice time on holiday It can be really good for our mental health to have some proper time away from day to day responsibilities. 

Do you have any friends or family that you can speak to about your mood?

It can be helpful to have distractions if you feel your mood is becoming worse, whether that's video games, listening to music, going for a walk or writing in a diary.  The Mix has a lovely article on how to deal with anxious thoughts here which is worth a read! https://www.themix.org.uk/mental-health/anxiety-ocd-and-phobias/help-me-with-my-anxiety-5601.html

Feel like I can't talk to anyone, things I tlk about come out by accident, wen ppl notice me cry or I hurt myself

Hi @ellie2000 you should never be ashamed to talk about how you feel. 
Like @Past User asked, do u have anyone u could talk to? 
talking to people, even tho it's so little, can be the best thing you can do for yourself. Music has been my biggest help as someone who often gets sad and anxious. 
sometimes i like to clean my room with music on and it helps sooo much because it keeps me busy and distracted!

@ellie2000
if you feel like you can't talk to anyone, try using a diary... sometimes i even talk out loud... hearing my own thoughts and worries out loud can help me rationalize them

Why do you think you might have to talk to a police officer? Sorry if I’ve misunderstood, but I understand you’re getting counselling or you’re on the waiting list for it? Counselling is confidential unless they are concerned for your safety
