Examples of bullying/victimising at work... or am I being a wimp?

I've felt horrendous the last couple of months due to my manager. She's passive aggressive and says things that constantly imply I'm not working hard, even though I am!!! I'm the most junior by at least 4 years in terms of experience and I've been coming home crying must days through the stress. I feel sick and anxious around her.

I've never been like this. Always worked hard and done well or at least well enough to progress. I've pulled her up once and she couldn't actually tell me anything I've done wrong.

But how can I tell if it would be seen as bullying or whether im being too sensitive? I feel drained and need to talk to someone higher but I'm also scared they won't believe me.

She will also say she's trying to help. She is scared of anyone above her.

You have enough to go above her. The different hours, the constant talk of redundancy. You should also start standing your ground with her: it can't get much worse than it is, without her definitely straying into unfair dismissal territory.

Sorry you're going through this op.
I know how you feel as I've been there, horrible micro managing passive aggressive negative woman was sucking the life out of me, what could have been a lovely efficient team was ruined by one person, no morale no trust and no ambition. The higher ups know what she's like but evidently don't have the back bone to do anything about it.
I left after 9 months and don't regret it one bit.
