Piper Im sorry your feeling sooooo low .. Ive been there and done that so many times.
My opinion on isolating is this .. Try very hard to avoid isolating BUT, there are times that we need to be kind to ourselves and spend sometime alone. Personally its very hard for me to be around "loved ones" when im so down( because I would feel guilty for my tears etc)... but I could handle "taking a walk or just sitting outside"
Only you can decide what you can and cant handle .. Im glad your seeing a doctor. Can you try and get an earlier appt ?
((((( Hugs ))))) I hope you get some relief .. Be kind to yourself
