Hi Libby,
I've gone through similar phases where it seemed like socializing just took too much energy. When my depression was bad, even making simple chit-chat like "Hi, how are you doing" seemed draining. It comes and goes.
I also withdrew from people when I was focusing a lot of my energy on my mental health. I didn't exactly want to tell people all about it for privacy reasons, and it seemed like it dominated my life, so that left me without much to say.
I wouldn't worry about feeling withdrawn for a while, you may just need to save your energy for your own healing.
