    Hi @MissUnique2019 and a very warm welcome to the community. I am so sorry to hear this and I cannot imagine how difficult this has been for you. Are you in receipt of any benefits? Are you living alone?

    You are able to block people who make these comments, I hope this stops them from happening. I imagine that was quite scary.

    Have you recently been diagnosed with Autism? You might find information from the National Autistic Society helpful. 

    I also am sharing with you Scope's employment services. I really hope we can support you.

    If you have any further questions then please do let us know.

    Hi @MissUnique2019
    You have every right to use YouTube without fear of being subjected to bullying or harassment. Bullying can be reported and action taken when things cross a line. If under comments, you are being bullied, harassed or threats are being made, they have a reporting tool page where you can report the bullying and they will investigate. - This information comes from bullying.co.uk

    I'm sorry you have had such a horrible time, it isn't ok to be bullied whether it is in real life or online.

    Hello @MissUnique2019. I'm really sorry you've had to deal with that sort of behaviour on your channel. You really shouldn't have to put up with it and I hope you're able to block or report them as Chloe and Sam have suggested.
    Are you still going to be making videos for your channel? What sort of gaming videos do you do?
