Karen Kay (as always) has some great ideas! Also something to consider is to volunteer your time somewhere - a great self esteem builder, as it's a no-lose situation. You're totally in control of whether you're comfortable doing the work asked of you. If you don't feel up to going in that day, you can call and opt out, relatively guilt-free.
It was a good re-introduction for me into the world of the social, and getting myself into a routine of sorts. I would be picky about the place you volunteer at, too - chose something you feel passionate about, or at least enthusiastic.
