I'm not sure why people turn on you when you're down -- maybe they're not exactly "turning on you," but they may not know what to say or do to help you feel better, so they back off. I've had that happen to me... with my family and friends. It's hard for people sometimes to understand what you're going through. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt.
As for where people go wrong to get these disorders? I don't think there's any one place and oftentimes it's not any fault of our own. Things happen to us and pile upon us and it ends up, in the long wrong, taking us to a place we never intended to go.
Are you getting any kind of help for your depression? I notice in your profile that you've got thyroid issues and say you can't have children, but you list your depression as "post partum?" I'm a little confused there. Post Partum depression can be treated (as can other kinds of depression). What steps are you taking at this point?
I'm glad you wrote here, though. I've gotten a lot of good support -- mostly just by reading all the messages... people do really care.
i hope you start feeling better, and that those people who have turned against you will understand what a huge mistake they are making. hang in there, hun. i know it's often so hard to do, but you've got to keep on going and fight this. you can make it through!
