The opposite of coping with something is not being able to manage the situation. This could mean not having the skills or resources to properly address the issue, or it could mean not having the emotional strength or resilience to confront it. It could also mean being overwhelmed and unable to process what is happening. Ultimately, not coping with something means not being able to take control of the situation, and being unable to make progress or find a resolution.

The opposite of cope with is to avoid. To cope with something means to confront it, whereas to avoid means to steer clear of it. Avoiding a situation can be an effective way to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed, but it is usually only a temporary solution. In the long run, it is better to learn how to cope with difficult situations, as this will provide a more lasting solution.
