Gaslighting at work can be subtle, confusing, and deeply isolating. It can make you question your memory, your abilities, and your confidence, often long before you realise what’s happening. This space exists to shine a light on those experiences and to show just how common, and damaging, this kind of behaviour has become in workplaces today.
You’re invited to share your story here or by emailing hello@gaslighther.com. Tell as much or as little as you want, in your own words, with your name or a pseudonym. Every story helps build awareness of this growing form of workplace bullying and reminds others that what they’re feeling is real.
If sharing brings up difficult feelings, please take care of yourself and reach out for support, whether that’s a trusted friend, colleague, union representative, or a mental health professional. You’re not alone in this.

My manager arranged a leaving party for someone in our team, and invited everyone except me. I’d been working with them for five months. They all left for lunch together, all looking a bit uncomfortable apart from him. They also didn’t tell me that they weren’t coming back for the rest of the day. I resigned soon after, because it was a very toxic and misogynistic place to be. A month later, on my own last day, the same manager was suddenly acting like I was his favourite colleague. He suggested we have a leaving lunch with the team. Turns out it was for the sole reason of having an excuse to go to the pub for the afternoon and “legitimately” charge it back to the company on his expenses. I treated myself to sushi and a glass of prosecco for one that day, and never went back to that office. #SquareMile #Insurance

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
