Dealing with unfair performance review

I just received my Q4 performance review and was rated a 3 (meets expectations) in all 5 categories. So you’d think I’d receive a 3 overall, right? Wrong! I was rated a 2 overall (needs improvement). How does that make any sense?

I suspect that I’m being pushed out of my job. My manager has been consistently hard on me over the past three quarters, and every small mistake (like not catching a typo someone else made in an internal document) I make is blown way out of proportion and it’s starting to affect my mental health. I’ve long struggled with depression and anxiety and this situation is really exacerbating my mental health issues.

My manager seems to expect 100% accuracy at all times and anything less is a disgrace. I just want to point out here that employees in other departments actually make major errors with negative impact on profits, but they don’t seem to be raked over the coals for it – this seems like an issue specific to my department/manager.

After a couple of projects I worked on where the co-worker I was assisting didn’t like how I did something (we had different writing styles, matters of personal preference with designs etc.) my manager decided to place me on an “informal performance improvement plan” for Q4 where I had to meet with her every other week to discuss any issues that came up, but honestly there weren’t really any issues with my work during the quarter and the meetings were uneventful. I was stressed out but feeling confident that I had proved myself competent.

So imagine my surprise to be rated a 2 overall after being rated a 3 in each category and being told that she had noted my improvement! I asked her to explain the rationale behind the score and she said that because I was on the “informal performance improvement plan” I was getting a 2. It doesn’t make sense to me because the issues that lead to me being put on the improvement plan weren’t that big of a deal and happened in like, May or June and I have since proved myself in those areas, and didn’t really apply to my work over Q4. It just feels really unfair and literally doesn’t add up. Did I mention scores are tied to bonuses? I have improved by the expectations laid out to me, so why am I being punished?

My husband thinks this is workplace bullying and that I should raise the issue with upper management but I don't even know what I'd say. I'm pretty sure they have to sign off on my score so they already know. What should I do/say? This is such an uncomfortable situation.

TLDR; Was rated a 2 overall even though I was scored a 3 in all categories during my performance review. I feel like my boss is never happy with me no matter what I do, and I think she is trying to build a case to fire me. What type of bullshit is this? What should I do?
