Is anyone else using "depression" as an excuse for being a failure?
I don't want to be happy around other people because it will make me seem content and I will lose my "edge" I have and they will think I'm not sad.

Depression is not always about beeing sad.
Most people that are depressed just feel empty and lack the motivation to do anything due to the fact that they believe everything doesnt matter and that their life has no purpose.
It's basicly just giving 'beeing a failure' a new name.
I've depression and anxiety as an excuse for all my failures for a while now. Depression is comfy, I can eat what I want because I'm depressed, I can't go to the gym because I'm anxious. Every opportunity I have I pass on, and I never do anything to help myself.
At this point I'm scared of ever not being depressed because I have nowhere to project my failures.
