Do I have a case if I recently quit my job due to a hostile work environment that lead to emotional distress?

I made the HR director aware of many conflicts, however nothing further was done except for talking about it. My situation continued to get worse and worse. I went into the HR director’s office who also happened to by my boss may I add crying almost once or twice a week. Still, nothing done except for empathy. I continued to get frustrated until the day I quit. I quit because the person that I had a problem with was my boss’s boss. I overheard her say some nasty things about me and I called her out on it. Only to have a meeting with the executive director, the director of HR and her. In which she lied about saying any of those nasty things because why wouldn’t she lie to the executive director -who is her boss. Things like this situation happened since the day i started, with how I did my job, who I talked to weather it was personal or work related, ect. I worked at this place for almost 2 years but due to the lack of administrative incompetence, I had no other option to leave, because i knew nothing further was going to take place. I have emails to my doctor refilling my anxiety medications twice since I started employment there, I came home crying almost everyday and from that became exhausted and irritable. From this situation I have a hard time wanting to find another job, which I need in order to support my family but I am just not ready. I fear situations like these at other places of employment.
