You aren't a horrible person. The depression is not your fault. Actually, these negative self views are coming from the depression. It's almost impossible to see that when you are in that rock bottom state of mind. Just don't act on these feelings.
I am glad that you have support. Also, it is no fault of yours that your partner has depression too. Depression isn't a contagious disease. Blaming yourself for their illness doesn't make yours any better. You are doing all you can right now. Just stay safe.
