Suing for compensation will be extremely stressful and upsetting, even if you win. Have you lost any pay whilst this has been going on? Are you on full pay now?
The best way to help yourself is to pull yourself together and get back to work. Being at home moping and dwelling on it will not help you one iota.
If it helps you can lodge a formal grievance about the way the matter was handled and hope for a written apology.
