Should I Deactivate My Reddit Account After Being Called A Narcissistic Bitch Even Though Its Only Been A Month Since I Joined?

I 39 female just joined reddit a little over a month ago so i could hopefully gain a little bit of traction with my fanfic, which is self-insertion but from day one of posting i was immediately bombarded with mean and cruel comments which is happening every day for a over a month now, nothing good as come out of this. i post a chapter a week and i use ai assisted chapter cover art because i cant draw to save my life, lol, but those commenters are distinctly saying well if the cover art is ai then the fanfic must be too, but that is not the case at all but of course no one is believing that for a second but i dont have to prove myself to anyone i know im telling the truth, this is something i have been working on since 2013 as a distraction from a really bad breakup, then took a hiatus for a little while and just in the last few years i started working on it again and now i am 24 chapters in and still going, 10 chapters are already posted. Anyway, i have deleted and blocked more comments/users than published post. the worst of the comments came today with a user saying, verbatim "Only someone who is full of herself would insert themselves into their own story. NARCISSISTIC BITCH!" and another one saying "GO KILL YOURSELF!" all day ive been holding in that pain, holding the lump in my throat for wanting to cry and pretending im fine, and im now crying in bed while typing this out, and what makes it worse is that i looked at my contacts to talk to someone about it and couldnt find anyone who wouldnt make the conversation about them. i feel so isolated and alone. So because this has been nothing but a bad experience and bullying i am highly considering deactivating it, So should i deactivate my reddit account after being called a narcissistic bitch even though its only been a little over a month? Thanks for reading.
