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 would also give myself space from such a person. It seems like they just want to talk about being depressed and do nothing about it.
And if it affects me personally then I keep distance. I will let them know sincerely though how I feel. Let it fall whichever way it does.

As much as I want to help her, I need to distant myself. There is only so much I can do. @SW-User
