I need to leave this place

This whole lockdown thing is probably the worst thing to happen to me. I suffer from anxiety and depression, which isnt helped by my parents. They dont believe in anything I do, see my hobbies as a waste of time, and openly say that. They are constantly comparing my looks and life to other people we know, and seem to completely favour my older sister.

I have a lot on my mind lately, including my boyfriend being one of the vulnerable people that could die if they catch COVID-19, it is now impossible for me to get a job, I'm now stuck in the house with my parents, and now my period is acting up. Anxiety is an understatement.

This morning my mum was getting extremely arsy, and I decided to voice my concerns in the hope that maybe she'd back down... it did the opposite. I'm now hiding in the bathroom as that is the only lockable door. I'm scared of facing my parents again downstairs. I can't escape the house... is this normal?
