I like to isolate. I don't think it's all that great for me, but when I get depressed, I, too, like to isolate. It does snowball and seems to get worse the longer I go.
Last year about this time I was severely depressed. I got into the car and decided to go to Cocoa Beach and not tell anyone.
I got as far as downtown Orlando because I was low on gas and had no $$ for tolls.
I ended up walking around Lake Eola in the middle of downtown. It was meant to be.
I hadn't been there for years and it was a welcomed change.
It lifted me and proved to be something I needed and found serendipitously.
That ended the isolation for that time...
Hugs to you and hope you had a great holiday season!
Love you
