I smiled reading your comment.
Thanks for the book recommendation. I already use a VPN, but piracy is bad tho
Normal people, in principle, do not live in this country.
They do, it's just that like you they've learnt to be careful about what they say, and to only look out for themselves out of hard experience. Or they once cared, but life ground them down, so they sought escape in alcohol or whatever.
Not that this helps, but maybe it'll help you feel less lonely, when someone says something stupid. They may simply be pretending to be an idiot.
Obviously, this is by design. If people were open about being unhappy about their country, this would threaten the government.
I can't help you with work, but reading and podcasts can be a great help when you don't have access to mental health services.

The book you’re recommended is about PTSD, but not a C-PTSD, so I thinking if it’s make sense…

I’m a trauma therapist, The Body Keeps the Score is very good for C-PTSD. You should also read Gabor Mate’s books and watch his interview with Tim Ferris on YouTube. It’s called Dr Gabor Mate on trauma, addiction, Ayahuasca and more. Read Richard Schwartz work around Internal Family Systems Therapy. He did an amazing interview with Rich Roll called Multiplicity of the Mind.
There’s a lot of really good content online if you can’t access a therapist. You want to start with making sure you can self regulate and self soothe and build from there. Somatic exercises will help you.
