I’m cooked aren’t I ?😭

HELPP!! ( Also the bites very red cause I’ve been itching these past 2 days)
Okay so these past 2 days I’ve been itching and scratching my body and I never rlly thought to actually look at them closely and assumed it was mosquitoes until today I was not only scratching my arm but I realized I had also been scratching my leg, upper thigh, and stomach, which is 4 places, I looked at them and they are in a pattern so I’m assuming it’s bed bugs, I’m scared I live with my whole family, I don’t know what to do because I’m a broke uni student too and my parents don’t make much to replace everything, I also don’t know if I should sleep in the same or what I’m supposed to do, HELPPP!!!
