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.

Recurrent "depression" that lasts for more than a couple of weeks, should really be checked out by a professional. Encourage her to seek help and let her know you'll give her your full support while she's in treatment...

She'll either take you up on the advice and hopefully get better OR just start avoiding you, instead LOL
