Hey. Its okay, things can be hard sometimes. I like the library, too. Find some book to immerse myself in...
Part of it is a bit of a spiral, I think. If you aren't feeling so good then the thought of social contact can feel worse, and we can't really afford to feel worse, but then we feel worse anyway because we haven't had any. Sometimes it can be about doing something in spite of how we are feeling. Not because we feel better when we think of doing it, but because we know (rationally - not emotionally) that we will likely feel better while we are doing it / once we have done it. It is really hard, though.
Is there something that you typically enjoy doing (even if you can't muster the enthusiasm for it now)? Is there a movie that you have wanted to see? A book you have wanted to read? A place you like to go (an art gallery or something like that)?
How about trying... One thing. In the spirit of self care / self soothing. Then afterwards... See if you feel better or worse? Couldn't be much worse than it is now with you staying at home - could it?
