This made me laugh but yeah I wish my life was like an anime where I got superpowers and had to do something big. I do need to stop watching it.

Unless a diagnosis of schizophrenia means you need to be careful about the kind of media you consume, I'm like 99% sure anime isn't your problem. Anime featuring Truck-kun sending an ordinary person off to a fantasy world where he or she will either automatically awesome or have a second chance at becoming awesome in a world of high technology or fantasy are popular for a reason. The cost of living is skyrocketing, wages are stagnant, there is a housing crisis, a looming climate crisis which we can already feel, the political situation is tenuous in America, and there is a war on that features one country constantly threatening and then unthreatening to use nuclear weapons.

You can bake a cake or fly a kite all you like, but at some point, the stress starts eating away at most people to some degree. I live in a small town, and the other day, I swear every single person I met while running errands was close to Morbing out. Hasn't been this bad around here since COVID started.

Try stepping out of your comfort zone, do your best, and see someone if you need to. It's all any of us can do, really. Also, if it doesn't bother you too much, try dipping your toes into one of those cute girls doing cute things shows. Or give Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons or something a try if you haven't played those kinds of games. I've always found immersing myself in relaxing, slow-paced media I can control very helpful.
