Thank you for sharing your coping mechanism and your experience. Sounds like you were surrounded by pretty difficult individuals and it’s very good that you helped yourself.

Yes, since there is nothing I can do to change the situation in my country, leaving is indeed one of the options, but it might take time if at all, taking into account that many factors hold me back here.

I already limited my exposure to social media just not to get involved in new incidents but things just tend to find me.
