I'm a livestreamer on TikTok and recently had a disagreement about a game. A screen recording of my livestream got posted in a Facebook group, and since then, someone has been threatening me by creating multiple fake accounts. I didn't think it was serious at first, but then I noticed that my old in-game name was being used to watch my streams. After I checked on that account, it disappeared! I'm worried because that same old username is linked to my Gmail address, and I'm anxious I might have been hacked. I haven't received any alerts about unauthorized access to my Gmail, but I'm feeling really stressed and need some advice on what to do.

First off, you should definitely reach out to TikTok’s support team. This sort of situation is beyond regular tech support and needs their attention.
Honestly, you need to stop using emojis for serious issues, it can come off as immature. But really, contacting TikTok is your best bet here since they have the tools to handle impersonation.
I know it might seem childish, but I just feel really overwhelmed right now. TikTok hasn’t been very responsive, and I need help!
Make sure to change all your passwords right away and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if you haven’t already. Taking a break from your computer can also help; go outside and clear your mind for a bit.
I did enable 2FA already, but I’m still feeling on edge!
I'm so sorry for what you're going through! It must be really tough.
