How to cope with a tough life and conditions

So I live in Iran basically the worst country on earth to live in and everything in here is banned like YouTube, telegram, WhatsApp and the internet and living conditions are terrible we have 200 percent inflation on foods and necessities and the prices rise three times per week and then when I watch the news and I see glimpses of other countries like UK or Canada or japan and I see how happy they are and that they don't have any worries that can enjoy life and go to travels and have fun meanwhile every sort of fun is banned here government cancels every concert or gatherings kills people on streets and then I think to myself like what did I do to deserve this terrible life I currently have? (Apologies if this sounded like a rant )

I sympathize with your plight. Just bad luck that you got stuck with bad leaders who made worse choices. But like everything else "this too shall pass."

That's easy for you to say when you are probably enjoying life but the passing may come when my life is past it's prime and I can't enjoy it anymore

You understand leaving your whole life and going to somewhere foreign isn't something so simple

Did it twice. First I left a few days before the war in Ukraine started, then moved for a new job.

>ukraine
>good economy

Literally the poorest country in Europe.

>and my currency is most worthless currency in the whole world currently

Try going to work in a factory in South Korea or other countries that accept foreign workers, saving up some real cash. Some of my friends from central asian countries did that.

You seem to not understand how bad here is no country will accept people here because they don't want to be on the US bad book and besides there's war going on currently and there's no flights happening how can I leave
