Obviously if these "friends" take off when things get tough, they are NOT really your friends.
I don't know you but you don't sound like an evil person to me. You sound like you're in pain and feeling lost. that's not a crime. Allow yourself to feel this way without feeling that you are horrible. You aren't. It's the depression, the illness. Like Penny said, perception becomes distorted and in your frustration with your illness, you turn anger toward yourself and beat yourself up for having the illness. It's a vicious cycle and you must stop the negative voice inside to stop the cycle.
You are NOT horrible. From what I've read from you, you are a caring, sensitive, smart person who has an illness. The illness is not who you are.
take care
