Don’t give up just yet. I’ve had ups and downs at different companies, different levels of seniority, different cultures, different quality of people in the team etc. I’ve worked at a few toxic places as well as good places but with toxic managers - and some of those really tested my resilience. They can make you get low very quickly.
First thing I’d suggest if all three have been FAANG is to try a different type of company. There are plenty of other industries that need tech staff - think banks, consultancies, consumer goods, insurance, retail. Almost any type of company these days.
Try to find a good culture (as difficult as that is through the interview process!), a good manager, and build your confidence back.
Often friends and contacts that have worked somewhere are the best way to find out if a company culture is good. Take “Top places to work” surveys with a grain of salt.
Good luck!
