Bullying is persistent verbal &/or physical behaviour where you feel personally targetted and picked on and is likely to have a profound emotional impact.

As bullying takes hold you are likely to feel depressed and withdraw. In a work situations you may feel demotivated, panicky, you may make more errors than usual, feel ill and dread going to work. Your self-esteem will be hit hard.
