For all of you spiritual "Power of Now" people, how do you "live in the now" if you have so many problems?

How can a person live in the now if he/she has so many problems? How is it not irresponsible to not think about your problems constantly, and constantly try to find ways to solve them? It's stressful, it's difficult, it hurts, but how else can a person get over them? It sounds to me like a person who lives in the now, but also has a lot of problems, is a person that lives in denial, and allows themselves to be vulnerable to getting into deeper trouble. The way I see it, it's totally possible to live in the now, when your world isn't falling apart, and it also seems very pretentious and condescending to think about others who aren't in the now as toxic. I'd love to live in the now, but that's easier said than done for some if not most people. I'm not saying that people should have the right to bring others down, but sometimes people can't help the negative energy within them because of the negative situations they might be in, which is why they might not be super cheery on command. To just disregard someone as toxic, I think, is toxic. I don't mean to bring you down with this question, I mean well, but as you can see, I can't help what I feel, and I'm still trying to climb out of an empty hole...
