I am being called closet but I have never been ual. Feel hared and slandered. Myrights?

When I lived at a differerent address about 8 years ago certain people called me a but I never was one. I had severe speech problems at this time, I hardly ever talked to anybody and I lived indoors most of the time so for these reasons I could not control this situation very well. Additionally I draw benefits from the state for mental illness and I felt these comments they made made me far worse. 8 years later on these people or others like them have seemed to return and I have heard that they repeat these commemts. What ought I to do? I believe that this problem is making my mental health far worse and as well as that I am totally unable to live normally, as a result of their comments, that is work, be married, raise a family etc. There is something else; even though I haved moved, very quietly, to different addresses since then these people always seem to find easily my new places of abode, even though it should be very hard for them to do so. Help me!
