Hey @Beauty ,
I've sure experienced work bullies in the past.
In my heart of hearts, I feel that these people will get what they deserve - eventually. I feel that they won't get away with it forever.
Another thing that I make sure I do it report them as an OH&S hazard - psychological safety. I'm not sure if you have this process at your workplace.
Above all, remember your own self-care. If you need to take a break, go for it.
Hugs.

Hi and welcome @Vivid
You are absolutely right, there are always other jobs. Recently I was reflecting on all the jobs I stayed in despite them being bad for my mental wellbeing, and now it seems so hard to understand why I stayed so long. It can be easy to get caught up in a sense of duty or to downplay what you're experiencing and tell yourself to just stick it out. I'm glad you were able to leave that job when you realised just how much it was affecting you
