What to do when a friend continuously say she’s depressed every time you try to cheer her up?

I have a very good friend who is constantly down. I try to cheer her up and but she’s really negative and her mood is rubbing off on me. I don’t want to leave her on her own but her negativity is taking its toll on me and I am now ignoring her calls.

I tried cheering up depressed people once. I talked and talked. I gave and gave. However, depression doesnt go away like that. If it did it wouldn't be depression. Sometimes u cant help too much

It’s difficult because you want to help but at the same time want to distant yourself from them. @SW-User
