Hello Tres_Aime: Well... I just finished reading your post with regard to the church near you in which you have an interest. I recall you wrote that agoraphobia is a problem for you. Of course, there can be varying degrees of agoraphobia. (I have some. In my case it is not so severe but what I can go out & do what needs to be done.) If you can handle it, one idea would be to see if there is some kind of volunteer activity you could become involved with. It could be as part-time as you need it to be. And you could try to find something that doesn't require more public contact than you feel you can handle. But, in the process, you would have the opportunity to meet some new people. There would be no reason for them to be asking probing questions. And being of help in your community is pretty-much an accepted way of mitigating depression.
