no help will be required but thank you for the concern for my life not like it was ever shown ingame but whatever anyways i hope i cleared things up i am just gonna delete this forum thread now if i can
Your comment here puzzles me. You talk about being bullied and bring up suicidal tendencies, and when others show compassion, it seems to me that you are dismissive (as if we are the same individuals who were insensitive to you in UC). The “…thank you for the concern for my life not like it was ever shown ingame but whatever anyways…” doesn’t sit well with me. Maybe I am reading too much into it.
However, the more I thought about it today, I remember you from a STT Community Line Chat set up by Cranky I believe. And if memory serves me correctly, if it is indeed the same person, myself and others had to ask you to stop aggressively going after people for their views on topics until you finally left that group (in much the same fashion you are leaving the game here in the Forums).
While I now think there are two sides to this post, I truly hope you seek help for the issues you have described, as well as find the joy in something else that this game once brought you.

Why would you even go in UC?
I have never used it, I don't see any reason why.
Just use Discord. Much better.
The “main” discord is not a nice place in my experience and made me feel like OP feels about UC. I like the forums better myself and especially a good fleet discord.
UC is the in game Universe Chat? Why would anyone would go in there? Even if it was full of the nicest trekkies, it's pure chaos, imposible to keep up.
It’s kinda sad to see the long time player turn their back on UC. I know it’s a train wreck full of Trumpers and trolls at the best of times, however if it wasn’t for the in game chat, I’d have never found my fleet, known how to get rep rations, who was a good card or not, or found new members for our third starbase. It is what you make of it, either with the mute button, or reaching out to new players and helping them find a home, or just a clue about the game.
We as long time player have a duty, IMO, to make Uc less of a cesspool
If you feel bullied in universal chat, then stop using universal chat, especially if you are autistic with anxiety and anger issues.
UC in online games is always full of idiots insulting one another. It is the nature of anonymous internet, it is especially bad for autistic people, and it is why I stay away from it. Even if you move to a different game, and go to the UC there, you will experience the same problems.
I have never experienced bullying or harassment in this game, probably because I stay away from UC. So why not ignore UC, and carry on playing. Change your in game name so that people cannot trace you. If you wish to discuss the game, do so in fleet chat or here.
The only person I have an issue with in this forum is muted, I have to specifically click on his posts if I want to read them.
As for the autism, this is a card collecting game, and so I expect is attracts a lot of autistic people like us. So don't feel like you are the only one here.

Forums, Discord, and
UC. Each has issues. Now,
how can we fix them?
As I've said often: we can all take part in making our online spaces be better places, just like we need to do the same outside of online spaces. We can all decide to not turn a blind eye, but it is often easier said than done.
See something, say something.
And that does not limit itself to reporting via tickets but also actively take action when something bad happens.
But please continue to report via tickets, with screenshots, it does help. It might take a few reports to be able to assess the situation properly and allow us to take action, but we are looking into reports and it does help.
Collectively we can make the world a better place, it is not an easy task, there is a lot to do, but it can start with something simple as not allowing toxic behaviors in chat, in your fleet, on the forums, etc etc
I will now close this thread, @Weyoun Clone 9 if you want your forum account to be closed, please submit a ticket, thank you.
