For me, it's about taking baby like steps and still socializing. It's hard, because I always thought, I will socialize when I get better. Not socializing makes me go deeper into depression. I need others to make reality a little less intense. I feel very vunerable and have to protect myself in mental ways.
Just do the best you can do. That's all you can ask of yourself. Don't be hard on yourself. It only makes things more difficult than they need to be. Be the kindest you can to you.
