I have to give a big nod and agree with you. People like to place blame on us for things we can't control. Depression is one of those things they think we can fix like the cold or flu, it's our fault we have it. Many things contribute to depression, your situation I don't know, but mine does as well as always having been down.

I experience this judgement daily lately. All I feel I can do is forgive myself, I'm human. I can't always fix what someone else thinks is wrong with me. Sure, do I need to work on myself, yes. But life throws us stuff sometimes and we can't deal with it all.
