This is how tech companies work?

No, but a lot of them work like this :-|

Or it might just be me having a bad experience?

Not just you for sure. Unfortunately, you listed common issues

Does this happen a lot?

Yes, quite frequently. But not 100% of the times, otherwise many of us would already gave up with IT-stuff :-P

If yes, how do you manage to stay positive at work everyday?

When it happens/happened, I usually look for another job as soon as possible :-)

Should I just compromise on all this stuff that's been driving me crazy and I even feel depressed?

Well, there isn't a correct answer for this. Sometimes it might be worth to look for compromise IF you consider that job/position has some short/medium term advantage. Otherwise, you're wasting your time, health and passion.

Or shall I just leave it behind like a bad dream and move on?

You're (very) young (I'm 41, just to give you a different perspective about age), that means you have a potentially brighter future in front of you. From today up to 5 years forward you might change several jobs/positions/companies and that's fine too. The key should be at least one of these points:

  • personal/professional growth
  • a bit of satisfaction at the end of the day (sure, you'll have bad days anyway, that's why you should focus on the average day)
  • your time/skill/person at work is an investment that has more value than raw money: so think about it :-)

my 2 cents, I hope they'll help you finding your way. Good luck!
