A girl I’m kinda dating has depression. Is there any thing I can do to help her?

We’ve been on 2 dates so far. Everything was going pretty good until the virus started. We’d text everyday. However, due to the virus, her company eliminated her position. I tried to cheer her up by giving her support and saying I’ve been jobless too and I’ve had depression. However, she doesn’t text back no longer. After a bit a asked her if we were cool or what. She told me she was sorry. She said she feels worthless and cries all day and then sleeps. She said she turned off her phone because she can’t handle the stress about being jobless and doesn’t turn her phone back on for a while .

I feel awful for her, since I know what she is going through and it makes me very sad that she is sad. However, I know it’s different Strokes for different folks. I text her daily, wishing her a good day and that I hope she feels better, but I don’t want to overwhelm her with a bunch of positive texts too. I’ve told her, that I’m here for her if she wants to talk about her feelings with me, like if she wants to vent or something.

Is there anything else i can do for her or does she just have to overcome this herself? I just feel really bad and want to help, but I also don’t want to be annoying either.
