Toxic work environment or am I too sensitive?

Before graduating University I landed a job in IT as a network tech, which basically translates to entry level help desk and helping people fix software, laptop sets ups and printers etc. I landed this role during my studies in which I was doing network and computer security. I think there was internal issues before I arrived as the rest of the IT team had quit or made redundant so when I was hired it was me, a senior networking guy, and a senior office IT guy who only worked part time.

I was doing very well and was helping people around the office with various issues, a job role opened up to join the networking side as a junior sys admin and with my background in networking I went for it, and got given the job, so now it was me and the senior network guy on the team, little did I realise the senior had handed his notice in and was leaving in 3 weeks, I had 3 weeks worth of getting shown around the various bits of equipment before he left and I was on my own with the part time office IT guy.

I have been working as a junior without a senior for the last 6 months as nobody has been hired, and I have managed to achieve and finish projects that a junior straight from university shouldn't ever have to do, such as configure an entire network from the ground up with a deadline on a contract worth 3.5m, dealing and managing timescales with upper management when I didn't even know my own skills to apply a time on it, it was horrible and stressful but in the end I managed to get it sorted.

The team has been growing as a guy to replace my old role was hired, and a full time senior on that side has just recently joined.

Where I'm beginning to struggle is I have noticed that that side of the team appear to enjoy making me out to look stupid, always making jokes at my behest such as when things go wrong saying "what have you done to break it" or when I don't know something saying things like "do you not know how to use a computer?" Whilst those around me all laugh such as my boss and other colleagues who have been here for many years, they also mess around with me a lot with just childish stuff like lowering my chair or sticking labels on my clothes and stupid shit like that, I feel as if because I'm a junior on my own, there is a lot of responsibility put on my shoulders, and because I'm new I don't know enough, so they use it as a way to get their claws in to appear better than myself, as I'm on the 'infrastructure' side which holds more esteem.

Also during projects and mainly everything I try to solve in the office, nobody can answer my questions or explain to me how and why things work, as the senior that I'm meant to be guided by doesn't exist, and hasn't basically since I took the role, so it's just a violent circle of hindering my personal growth, whilst making me appear stupid as I don't know things people ask of me.

I'm really stuck, I've just moved out with my partner and the financial side of the job is great, but I'm sick of not being respected, being made to constantly look a fool, going through a trial of fire every day and having the higher ups not respect a thing I say, I am always the butt of the jokes for everybody in the building.

Like even systems on the other side there is a lady who has nothing to do with IT says things across the office about me taking the piss out of me, I just don't understand it.

Anybody been through something similar?
