i don't know what my problem is

I'm from Nigeria, and I've tried to seek help, but in this environment, it seems like everyone is solely focused on hustling. It's quite challenging for me, as a man, to open up about mental health or thoughts of suicide. The response I often receive is 'MAN UP.'

I'm searching for a sense of purpose. Why do I constantly feel like a failure? I can't pinpoint when this started, but it's been a long time since I woke up feeling like myself, IT’S ALOT
