Therapy and antidepressants does not help.

Due to the stress I'm afraid to seek the job as a python backend developer, as I truly believe that I lack modern skills and previous employment was too focused on telecom things.

What skills should I learn? Should I learn and then apply or apply anyway? Each failed interview is like 6 months of doing nothing... How to escape this vicious loop?

I'm a below average programmer with around 7yr of experience.

But if this is just experiment "what if" those are thing that I would suggest to do:

- Forget about computers and programming and gadgets

- DO NOT STAY IN BUNKER, INSTEAD FIND FRIENDS!

- Focus on FARMING as team

- Scavending for potatoes, grain etc - for seeds!

- FARMING

- FARMING

- FARMING

- FARMING

- FARMING

- HARVEST

- FOOD = LIFE

What you really need is:

- water (well or river)

- water filter (from sand, rocks, and wood ash) for human consumtion.

- fire (easy - a lot of lighters laying around, if not use your glasses!)

- fuck cars and fuel - you are not going anywhere as you need to do FARMING

- CORN, POTATOES, WHEAT production (parts that we dont eat are perfect food for sheeps or goats!)

- SHEEPS, GOATS production (milk and meat!)

- SHELTER: there must be plenty empty houses in this scenario (everyone died!).

- Do forming for few years. Then you grow and grow. You could sell food in futre and rebuild society, maybe as agroculture baron. :)

OPTIONAL: [you dont need electricity as farmer!]

- electricy from solar panels ("borrow" them) or from wind (you can use any electrical engine for it! For example from washing machine :). This stuff is hard but doable.

yup

I'm sole developer working in some niche industry in team with 9 engineers.

Today our CEO announced that 80% of people in our company (thousands) received pay rise(due the inflation etc.).

It is first time in 4 years that I did not get any pay rise.

Just month ago I asked(via email) for feedback from my boss and he praised my skills, ambitions and working speed.

Reason that I did not get pay rise might be that I'm not afraid to criticize some stupid ideas, and I'm very offensive when it comes to handling projects (I lead, and I work hard). So I often have some silly(very short lived) conflicts with some of the engineers.

I love my job and industry, but I often have problem with my team (non programmers) and I lack "emotional" support form my boss(no "thank you" for working in weekends for example).

My boss refuses to talk with me about it.

Should I just quit?

You live in bubble. That's it.

By measuring level of dopamines, and other neurotransmitters in brain when person claims to be happy. Easy and precise.

That why it is at the same level as breathing, eating and shitting in:

ps. Having sex in rubber with prostitute is safer in terms of HPV/HSF infection then with average female in UK without any protection (especially with Y gen) :) So I would not worry about it THAT much.
