nobody,no matter what position they hold,has the right to speak to you in any way other than civilised.tell them not to speak to you unless they can be positive.tell them that its them that are making you feel ill and even threaten them with legal action if need be.if you don't stand up for yourself,nobody will.if they feel they can walk all over you,they will.
It is very important to feel valued in any job role.
Firstly, you may wish to look at your own behaviour - and ask yourself if any of their criticism is really true - is Head Office simply doing their job by chasing up sick notes, reasons for absences etc???
Whilst it may seem like people are harassing you, it may just be that they have targets to meet - paperwork to complete, that sort of thing, to ensure the correct procedures are followed. It is necessary these days to cover their own backs, what with people sueing for stress on the job and not being 'looked out for' etc.
If this is not the case and you are genuinely unhappy, try talking to your line-manager about how you feel - they should try to help and may not be aware of any problems. They MAY assume you're just being grumpy and awkward but when they see you are genuinely concerned about your position, i'm sure they will do their best to help. Good luck

Yes, they can sack you in the first 12 months of employment without giving a reason - so long as it's not discriminatory, or you're pregnant or on religious grounds etc. They need only give you notice as per your contract.
If you feel unhappy about the way 'most people' are speaking to you then it's possibly something in your attitude that's making most people treat you like this. Maybe a change of job would do you good if you're not happy there?
