I know it's not good for me, and yet I don't want to do what I need to do to help rectify this in any bigger way.

I also find that isolation is one of the worst things for my mental health. I think it is bad even for people without a mental illness. Maybe you could call the museum to get info if you don't feel up to going in person? Volunteering has really helped my mental health in the past by connecting me to people, and because it really does feel good to help others. Taking that first step is so hard, though. I felt like I was self sabotaging for months by not doing what I knew I needed to do.
