Had another hard day at work. Supervisor was just being a pain in the backside and I'd been hoping I'd see my manager today so I could offload a bit (I've been keeping a record of the supervisors behaviours towards me) but she didn't come over from her own site because she'd been scheduled to have a meeting.
I got quite worked up and decided to email her my diary and a few other things that had gone on (like supervisor putting my special masks for my allergy in the main mask supply because the other person who uses allergy masks said they weren't hers). Manager acknowledged how I felt and said she could have another go at trying to have a 3 way conversation with us but the last one didn't help much (understatement - the last one was a disaster). She suggested she help me to work through the stress management paperwork so we have something official on record and I said that would be helpful but I also feel like it's putting the blame onto me somewhat. Like I'm stressed because my supervisor is a cow not because I'm stressed generally. I know I need to do something about the ball of anxiety I get going into work, at the moment it is just there constantly and I feel like I've done something wrong when I keep getting assured from manager that I haven't.

Really the manager should be dealing with this by going through an accountability process leading up to sacking the person. It's her fault, and she's shifting it onto you. Why can't people sack people? It's not hard to do once you've done it the once.
