Do I have a case for employment law/workplace bullying?

My supervisor has been intimidating and condescending for the last 3 years. He has now told me that I am not qualified for my job that I have been doing for the past 5 years. He has told me that I need to find another job but did not fire me (yet). He does not speak to me. When he does, it is negative. He constantly gives me negative feedback and evaluations. I am now seeing a therapist and psychiatrist that agree he is the cause of my major depression and I have been put on multiple medications. It is affecting my quality of life and emotional well being and has become physically damaging to my health. Would this fall under "intentional/negligent infliction of emotional distress"? Or do I have a case under some employment law/workplace bullying? I live in Virginia. Thank you in advance for your help.

It could be IIED, but quite frankly, you should just get another job. If you sue, you will make yourself a target at your job, and I guarantee it will get worse. Also, because your evaluations have been so bad, you'll probably lose your case due to a lack of credibility. I suggest you get another job and end the stress. It'll take a LOT less time to find a new job than it will to sue for IIED (which will take no less than 18 months).
