You might be a candidate for Disability.

Assuming US your best shot might be collecting SSI and supplementing with periodic contract work. Mind your billable hours though so you don't disqualify yourself. Work on open-source stuff the rest of your time to stay in the game.

If that is not tenable, consider changing careers to something more dopamine-driven-- firefighter, paramedic, etc. Social skills are beneficial but not required. Educational background is negotiable.
