Help how do you cope with being alive?

I don't.

Problems come up, I can't solve them, and then I get distracted. I'm running out of money, running out of time.. and then time is endless

I bury myself in work. I work, get paid, give money to my kids, put some money aside for my wife when I'm gone, and that's about it. Work consumes my mind, which other people hate and can't wait for the weekend, but I dread the weekend. I have no answers for you. Just know that I read your post all the way through and I hear what you're saying.

People laugh when I say that, but it's 100% true for me too.

I had this realization this week- some people dread going to work, I dread being anywhere but. It's the only time I can focus on doing something. The people I'm working around are worth spending that time with a talking to. Being alone or in dad mode just puts me into survival mode

i lost all my copes , can't play video games or watch tv. cant go out in the day without it looking like a lsd trip, cant even eat simple food without triggering my symptoms, can only listen to certain music because any upbeat music annoys me now.

I lost all interest in my hobbies (jogging, video games, football, haning out with friends) as they do not give me pleasure anymore. I function like a machone. I get up in the morning, go to work, get home and I go straight to bed and sleep by 8 pm. TV shows, video games, books, anything that I used to like now irritate me.

The best advice I was ever given is when I am down to try and do something for someone else. I used to be able to do more but now it's mostly small things or very small things, but at least it is something. When I am completely empty and have nothing left which currently is mostly where I am at, it's my dog and movies. Having to care for her at least lets me think of someone other than myself. To make sure sh'e taken care of and the love she gives me. When it's really bad I try and escape into movies. I used to love reading and could read all day. I still do in short spans but it's hard to concentrate unless it's a really good book.

Those first day weeks and months after a break up are so hard. When my ex and I broke up I would walk at night to help with the anxiety. I really didn't want to talk with people so I would walk very late. The breeze on your face and the dark night were very comforting. Not sure if that is an option. I know it sounds contrite but it does get better. Be kind to yourself and do as much self care as you can.
