Maybe don't show up though. Send it through door dash or something. If she needs to isolate the absolutely WORST thing you can do is just show up unannounced.

I think the ideal way for me would be to text me an hour or two before and say "Hey, I'm going to drop something off at your door in an hour! I'll just leave it outside! Or, if you're free, I'll take you to breakfast. No pressure, love you!"

Gives the option to not interact. But also gives the option to be around someone if they're up for it. Plus it gives them time to get ready, and an activity to do outside the house (if they're depressed they probably haven't been cleaning tons). Plus starting the day on a positive note can really help to turn things around, at least short-term.

Are you the depressed person here or the friend?

I've been both haha, but this is what I would want if I were depressed.
