This is a good question.
Catherine felt lonely, bored and isolated in Russia. When she first moved there, she didn't speak Russian, and had few if any friends. Her one friend, her Russian maid, was dismissed before Catherine was married, on the pretext that it was seen as dangerous for the young princess to show favouritism.
By 1747 she was even more alone, her mother had returned home and her father had died and she fell into periodic depressions. Combine this with the knowledge she was about to marry Grand Duke Peter, who is generally thought to have been unbalanced and you have a portrait of a woman who has no emotional anchors that could help her.
