I just can't cope anymore

I'm so tired of pretending to be ok. Work sucks, life sucks, I just don't want to exist like this.
Work has been awful for nearly a year now. I'm in a small team and the other person doing my job just turned on me, she ignores me and undermines me and I'm just left alone and made to feel useless and worthless. I ended up off for a month but I've been back for a few months and it's still as bad. Noone ever seems to tell her to stop and I have no confidence to stand up to her. I'm just worthless and alone and constantly putting on a brave face for the kids. I just want to be a nice person who has people who care about her and is thought well of but I can't seem to become that person. I'm sorry, I'm not sure why I even wrote this, it just wanted to feel like I told someone. I'm sorry.

That sounds really tough. Maybe you should start looking for a new job to get away from your toxic colleague as she’s unlikely to change?

You need to find a way to deal with the situation. Perhaps you need your manager or HR involved and start documenting the issues and what is said to you. It hard but of your not willing to step out she will continue
