Personally I need scheduled social interaction. Something that happens with other people every Wednesday evening whether I'm feeling good or feeling bad. Or maybe every third Wednesday. Or one Wednesday a year. It does not matter. I do not cancel same day unless forced externally.
I have enough of these on my calendar that it's not possible for me to retract from the world, but not so many as to be overloaded.
Sometimes I need a mental health day/week/month and I try to pre-plan these as far in advance as possible, to try to run around the needy last minute lizard brain.
