Dear Ben,
Three months is a significant period of social isolation. If you have a real threat to your life, it makes sense to avoid going anywhere near the people who might hurt you. But if that fear is preventing you from living a normal life, you have to deal with it.
Apart from the fear itself, you seem to have developed a reduced interest in socializing. You could indeed be suffering from clinical depression. I would suggest you find a doctor (preferably a mental health professional) and get the condition assessed and diagnosed. You might need a course of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medicine. You might also benefit from psychotherapy. A combination of medication and psychotherapy works best.
Hope this helps. Best Regards.
