I will say two things, I have no idea if it will help:
1. It is possible to be happy, despite a lack of "traditional success" (which often has very little merit beyond material wealth). I can't tell you how to do that, but please keep remembering this as a possibility, and then with enough time you can find the path that works for you - but you must look for it. In the meantime, yes, you are likely suffering from depression, your brain will tell you many things that are simply incorrect. Remember that also, it is very important.
2. Consider finding volunteer work, perhaps working with mildly mentally handicapped people, you may find genuine joy in their accomplishments. That is just one idea, but volunteering offers a path to profound happiness for many people.

Best of luck.
