Thanks for the responsive reply AS.
So, here it goes.... In February I was offered my dream job, the perfect job that suited my skillset and working passion down to a tee, and about 2 months into the role, and I thought I was achieving, my manager started to become very critical (over critical) of my work, pulling apart (verbally) all the things that I was striving to achieve.
The bullying began, every decision I made, every project I worked on, he would pull apart, belittling me in meetings, closing the door behind him in my office and shouting at me, making me feel worthless, it got to the point where I told him that I was actively looking for alternative employment.
What a mistake that was, every day he was in my office growling at me, saying "when are you starting your new (expletive) job".
It got so bad that actually asked him to make me redundant, or sack me, he refused. After approximately 7 month of this abuse, and not knowing where to turn and no new job in sight, I decided to try and take my own life (unsuccessfully), and that's where my story is.
I have been off work for 12 week now, awaiting for WorkCover to make a decision on if my bullying claim will be successful.
Fortunately I do have a supportive wife, and 2 wonderful kids that are helping me through this difficult time, but as my wife doesn't understand what I'm going through, I still feel alone.
