The cable that attaches to my garage door and then to the pulleys has

I'm sure you'll get all sorts of warnings about how dangerous garage
door systems can be. They involve very large forces & stored energy,
they can hurt you. If you're not experienced, mechanically inclined /
handy....the chances are good that you might get hurt, worst case you
might get badly hurt or killed.

That said, DIY garage door repair is possible IF you're handy, careful
& have tools.

Not really. It looks like the cables just slipped off the pullies. I
take it that this involves more than just wrapping the cables back
around the pullies and that things will have to be played with that are
likely to bite me.
