So in summer, I was in PE and we had a substitute and he called me a disappointment to the school and that I was never going to get anywhere in life. He’s a regular substitute at my school and what he said seriously affected me (I have severe depression and anxiety) and I cannot bear to be in the same room as him. Sometimes, I end up with him as a teacher. How do I deal with this? (Sorry for the long message) x

You could express your feelings to a teacher you trust or administration. If this teacher is acting this way, they shouldn’t be in the school.
