extremely paranoid please help

Malware

i've been worried deathly sick all day about malware despite many on this platform telling me i don't have malware after giving them the rundown of what happened. i clicked a malicious link on my phone like 10 days ago and as soon as i did, my phone warned me and told me to leave immediately. so i did. symptoms haven't occurred until a few days ago my screen time said that a "parent" was was requesting to manage my contacts. my mom is the only one who controls that and she said she didn't do it. i also downloaded something on windows security and it restarted my computer which it was meant to, but then i was signed out of everything. is that normal? also, my parents won't let me download malwarebytes on my phone so i have no way to know if i'm safe or not. my battery seems to be draining faster than normal and also those aforementioned screen time notifs. if you actually care to read this, thank you, and tell me if there's anything else necessary to know about this so you can help.
