I work in jewellery sales and I love my job. Studying gemstones when I was a little girl is properly my only good memory from childhood, so I am really passionate about it.

I have extremely low self esteem and one member of staff is making it worse and worse to the point I can't take it anymore.

She's my supervisor, so she's in a position of power over me. She makes me feel completely worthless and not good enough for anything. It's completely ruined my moral at work. She's so rude and confrontational with everything. She once stood behind me and physically pushed me forward to go and speak to a client, which with my ptsd she's lucky I didn't break her jaw because of that. She picks on every tiny thing I do. She embarrasses me in front of clients. When I do sales practices with her she purposely sabotages it so I get a bad score. She makes me feel like I don't belong there. I know hate is a strong word but I really believe I hate this woman because of how much she's destroyed any tiny bit of confidence I can muster. The worst part of it all is she knows about my depression, anxiety and ptsd because I was forced to tell her just because I had a panic attack because of work and couldn't go, she sat there rolling her eyes and stuff, it was humiliating. I don't know where to go with this because she's got me to a point where I feel that rock bottom and my self esteem is none existent, I feel like with all the put downs she's given me for years, that I deserve to be treated this way. I feel like all my colleagues would take her side because they've known her longer and they see her socially.

Do you think it's possible for my therapist to speak to my head office and explain how much her unprofessional behaviour is ruining my mental health? Because I feel like I'd get scared and hold back, or do what I do everyday and just tell myself it'll get better but it never does. I also feel like if it came from my therapist they'd believe him more, because he's a professional and could fully explain the implications of her actions. This isn't just affecting work it's effecting my whole life. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated, as I don't think I can cope much longer.
