My parents are acting stranger than usual since the Pandemic

Ever since Covid started, my parents have been taking the precautions way too serious.

I get it at first, when nobody knew how deadly the virus could be but it's been months now and they haven't taken off their masks in the house.

They won't even talk to me for fear that they'll spread the virus to me so they just send text messages.

They didn't think it was safe for my 19 year old brother to live in the same house so they texted me that they paid for him to go to Florida. The odd part is that he hasn't returned any of my texts that I have sent him.

My school is still virtual and my parents prefer that I don't leave the house.

Every morning when I wake up, I feel like I have a hangover but I haven't drank alcohol in months.

I just feel so alone and my parents have been acting extremely weird lately since Covid.

None of my extended family or friends are allowed over the house.

Both of my parents said that they have developed a light sensitivity from probably contracting Covid months ago so I never see them with their sun glasses off.

In the past, I could always gauge who was walking up the stairs by the difference in gaits that both of my parents had, however both of their footsteps sound completely different now.

My dad who was a Gulf War veteran was a staunch republican but I'll go downstairs now and he'll be watching some left leaning news broadcast.

My mom's hair is still blonde but the shade of blond she wears now kind of looks more trashy. Almost like she took a bottle of bleach and just doused her hair in it.

I'm starting to get really weirded out by them that I started to lock my bedroom door at night but I think one or both of them have a key or are getting into my room by some other means.

I purposely place stuff on my floor in a certain direction and when I wake up some of the things on the floor have moved.

I really want to run from the house but my parents have made me terrified of contracting the disease. They told me I have a heart condition which I wasn't aware that I had up until a few months from now.

I tried to jokingly remove the mask from "my mother's" face but she wears and N-95 which is difficult to get off and she didn't find it the least bit amusing, where she made a motion that she was going to hit me.

I'm constantly freezing in the house as they either don't turn on the heat high enough during the winter time and they crank up the air conditioner now during the summer. They text me that I should wear hooded sweatshirts like they do in the house

Last week I noticed traces of blood on my pillow and when I went to look in my makeup mirror, I noticed that I had two circular round marks on my neck about three inches apart where it looked like something bit me.
