...to feel like I'm being bullied by my sister?

For context, I moved back in to my family home last year as uni was finishing and the lockdown started. It has obviously been a stressful time for everyone and I understand the threads we hang on by can be thinner than at other times, but I'm exhausted and worn out by living with my sister.
She regularly screams and shouts at me for things like having a snack in the evening, not putting my shoes where she expects shoes to be, wearing a skirt or dress that's above the knee or not making going out running with her after I get back from work and I'm exhausted. Beyond that, she can behave in a very passive aggressive manner, making me feel guilty for things like meeting friends or volunteering (within social distancing/covid guidelines).
What's difficult is she can be so kind a lot of the time and funny and caring but I think she has quite severe anger issues that are often taken out on me. I understand that lockdown has been so difficult for almost everyone but I'm in my late 20s and she's in her 30s and I'm just...done. I wish I could move out but I can't afford to just now. I feel like I am being unreasonable and I should be more understanding, but I feel like I can't be myself anymore and I'm drained. Am I being unreasonable?

Is it your sisters house or your parents house? Is it just your sister you live with? Do you pay/contribute to living there?

I ask because it sounds like it is her house with the issues over snacks and shoes.

Why has she any say over what you wear when you go out? Or indeed when and why you go out?
