It's suffocating

Being in Software right now feels really claustrophobic. On one side there is a constant fear of layoffs. On the other side there is AI that keeps getting better every day. Whatever space is remaining is taken up by people at the workplace who are constantly trying to one-up you (and successfully doing it). Finally there is life in general ( health, family, traffic etc.) How are people finding the motivation or energy to keep working and getting better?
