Started off on the wrong foot

This new company that I joined a month back started off on a wrong for me. My manager is ruthless and mean, and due to the odd U.S. hours and long commute, I got terribly sick in the first month. Despite being sick, I delivered significantly good stuff, getting a good approval from the US counterparts.

Now the challenge is, because I went through all this, there seems to be an ongoing col war between my manager and me. This cold war is somehow affecting me deeply. Everyday I think about going to the office and dealing with her, my heart just sinks. Plus, the work culture here is heartless, and there's an insane amount of work unloaded by folks from the US on a daily basis.

Genuine advice only, how do I mentally process this shock and let it slide. I'm accommodating well overall in this new job, but thinking about the toxic nature of my manager and the culture of work just makes me hate everything.
