Mean teacher

Teacher has been mean since start of year, and I genuinely don’t know why she doesn’t like me. I understand she may not like me, but feel she could at least act professionally. She is always saying how great all the other teaching assistants are (in front of me) and has deliberately ignored me and spoken dismissively to me when I have tried to speak to her. I am always professional and have tried to make excuses for her behaviour (she is stressed etc). But it feels like bullying behaviour to me exclusively, because she goes out of her way to be so nice to, and speak highly of the other ta’s ( especially in my presence). Which makes it feel like she is bullying me as an individual. I am too nice but my mental health has taken all the knocking it can take. I am now feeeling sooo low and bad and have now started crying before going into work. And crying is something I do not do. Please help, what should I do? I am now thinking of getting antidepressants to help me cope at work.

Has this teacher said anything directly to you about your work? If not, if your mental health is poor, is it possible that this is your perception of events? Have you asked other colleagues if they have noticed anything? If they haven't and you are doing everything your job requires, I would just focus on your relationships with others.
