How to deal with a "defeatist" personality?

Asked by chyna (51335points) December 9th, 2016 from iPhone

I’m not sure I am using the proper word to describe my coworker. She’s the type that if she won 10.00 she would say it could’ve been more. She is always looking for the worst to happen. If her kid is sick, she’s sure it’s cancer. She is being sued for something and I asked how her lawyer appointment went. She said at least she won’t be going to jail. Maybe.
She cries at work at least once a week. I like her but I am starting to dread working with all the doom and gloom. How do I deal with her?
