Anyway, I did the adult professional thing, and carried on with my work and pretended it wasn't affecting me, but in early november I couldn't keep that up, and started to show some signs of my anxiety at work, and now I'm on sick leave, and they asked me to resign.
So my lesson learnt is: take time off work when it's gets too much, or you could almost lose everything like I have just done. Our health is number one priority. And the other lesson was to look for other jobs when things start to get too much at work.

I get bullied by those above and below me periodically. It's awful sometimes, but not a dynamic that I trust going to a superior with, but financially I'm sort of stuck where I'm at for the moment. Definitely can relate to this. I tend to just document the issues and keep to myself should there be an issue down the road, but it regularly follows me home and lately has lead to panic attacks at work, and at home. If things are particularly bad, it could be worth checking up with HR to discuss or see what your options are if you're comfortable doing so.
What I try to do is keep a few positive mental notes (things you enjoy or that made you feel good) about your work (particular patients/clients, "good days/moments") to think about when things get rough.
I do agree with the above though: you're health is important, too. Take care of yourself.
I hope things look better for you soon!
