It is infuriating. I've taken to answering the question more literal. "How" am I? Well, it depends who you ask but the leading scientific consensus is that our known universe began to take shape in what's known as the great expansion. And then...
You gotta make people learn to stop asking you that.
I hated that question when I worked at jobs where I got yelled at by customers.
I don't know what your job is but I just either ignore the question immediately moving on, or give a short honest answer. I work at a servo though and that might not work.
Breathing is the answer that gets the best response for me.
Breathing? Just standing there, breathing, without giving an answer? What does breathing mean here?

I stopped saying I'm good. I just kinda shrug. If they ask how it's going, I tell them it hasn't stopped, and that's supposedly a good thing so...eh.
I'm far from good and lying about it constantly is killing me
I suggest you consider talking to your doctor or a mental health professional. If you feel a long way from ‘good’ some professional assistance might help improve your way.
