From people who came through it
โTo whoever needs this: I was where you are a year and a half ago. For me it was comments about my accent. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.โ

If you're at the start of this, keep a record of everything, the dates, who said what. It really does help. And find one person at work you can trust, even if it's just someone to say morning to. The panic on the train is real, but it can ease. I'm still working on it. Plenty of us are in the same spot, even when it feels like it's just you.โ
Steady Owl ยท been through workplace bullying and harassmentโFirst, this is not your fault. I know it feels like it. Being left off emails and shouted at is not normal management, it's bullying. Write everything down. Dates, times, what was said. Go to your union if you have one, or ACAS. And see your doctor if you're not sleeping or you're feeling off. You don't have to fix it all at once. Just get through today. And talk to someone, anyone.โ
