Am I just paranoid?

In April I switched office jobs from a very fast county office to a smaller non profit office. Lately I feel as though I am being targeted for some things but also maybe I'm being paranoid? When I first started the Chief Executive Officer was not in office due to a death in the family. Once she returned some things started happening. Every team meeting since has had a specific thing I've done mentioned. I was told the dress code was business casual with no leggings or open toed shoes. I am a single mother so I asked if I could have some time to buy business clothes and they did say yes. After that my windshield was damaged when driving back from a meeting and I had to pay $500 to get it replaced. They did not offer to help with repairs and the CEO herself informed me I had to buy business casual clothes or else I would be sent home. When I tried to ask for some time till my next paycheck I was told that if I wore leggings again I would be sent home(ended up using money for my son's birthday presents to buy clothes). During one of our team meetings we were told we can't be on cellphones and if it's an issue they will escalate it to our phones needing to stay in our cars. When I voiced issues with my son's school calling they said they didn't care. I am in an enclosed office by myself and I am not allowed to listen to music or have a single headphone in. Just recently it was stated they don't want me in my office alone, I can't go to anybody else's office to talk to them but the managers will sit in the other workers office and have hour-long conversations. I also see every other coworker on their phone constantly with the one manager having his ringer all the way up. Then just recently I heard the CEO telling another manager to add a stipulation about smoking to the code of conduct form. I am the only one in the office who smokes cigarettes and I do so in my car on breaks with an ashtray in my car for butts. Am I being paranoid in thinking I'm being targeted for some reason or are these normal things with small offices?
