I’ve been isolated from society and people my age for a while, how do I reintegrate?

I’m 25 not in education or work bc of poor mental health. I’ve been a shut in for a while now and I don’t have any friends or anything socially. I’m planning on going to uni at some point but I have no idea how to actually get to a point where it will be an enjoyable experience for me- I mean right now I struggle to even leave the house and interact with people for more that a few minutes. I’m fed up of being a shut in but my social anxiety and depression get the best of me, and I have no idea where to go to reintegrate myself. I want to preferably be around people around my own age- I’ve done volunteering in the past but it was mostly older people involved and kind of a draining and not fun experience.

Believe in yourself, don’t do things because you think you have to, do them because you want to. Work out what you enjoy doing and then integrate that into your social life.
Remember that there’s so many people feeling like you, wanting to do exactly what you are wanting to do, and looking for people to socialise with!
Don’t doubt your strength 😊 you’ve got this!
