I think it's good that you go out to see other places from time to time, I think that helps calm your mind and maintain a healthy interest in this world.
It started with a short walk around with a cup of coffee and slowly I started going to less crowded and interesting locations. I avoid crowded trains as well and often try to avoid crowds. I also choose a silent zone on the train so that I keep calm.
tour groups were helpful in getting to the site
I just followed them blindly :D hahaha...
