She isnt aware of how her venting to you affects your mood. It makes her feel better, but you feel worse.
I'm sorry she's not more aware of how her venting affects others.

“In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
