Senior coroner Joanne Kearsley said records showed officers had on occasion told the young recruit he had done a good job.
Mr Abraham had visited his doctor in June 2022 suffering from low moods, stress and anxiety though did not identify any “triggers” for his feelings.
By March 2023 he had been unhappy for six months since being posted to Halifax, the inquest heard, and he told his father he was suffering nightmares.
“He felt that his Sgt was the weight sitting on his chest trying to strangle him,” Mr Abraham said.
“I think he was so scared. I don’t know what was going on in the police station.”
On 3 March last year, one day before he was due back in work, he spent time applying for jobs before leaving the family home.
He was found dead in woodland nearby the next day.
Hugh Davies, representing West Yorkshire Police, listed the support the young officer had received, including from his Sgt and colleagues.
He also had an assessor and a mentor and was referred to occupational health as well as a counsellor, it was said.
Mr Davies added that while in the force, the officer’s dyslexia was spotted for the first time and he received help with that.
The inquest, scheduled to last three weeks, continues.
