After a re-org I was reporting to a boss that I did not get along with, and vice versa. I stuck it out for 6 months before I started looking, took 3 months to find another position within the company (internal lateral moves take far longer than being hired off the street), and 3 more months of transition time. In hindsight, I should have started looking right away.
Lesson learned.
A decade later I was in a similar situation, and put in my resignation right away. Did not have a new job in hand, just was not going be in that untenable unbearable soul-crushing position again. Not worth the emotional trauma and mental well-being. Felt like the best course of action, and everything turned out alright.
I think fear of the unknown and one's own comfort level (and optimistic hope that things in that bad situation will get better... but they won't and don't) may keep a person chained to a bad situation for much longer than warranted.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
