Great advice for additional details to consider documenting! Be sure to have time stamps and note who saw and was involved that may be able to speak on your behalf.

Replying to @mwellshalophile
Dates, eyewitnesses, records of texts and phone call are all essential. Keep in mind also that if they are abusing you, they likely have abused others.Reach out to current and former students/postdocs.
