You could check if creating special deleted_x indexes helps
do
CREATE INDEX tgrm_deleted_recipent_index ON telegrams(recipient_id)
WHERE recipient_deleted=FALSE;
CREATE INDEX tgrm_deleted_user_index ON telegrams(user_id)
WHERE user_deleted=FALSE;
(if on live system, use "CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ...")
