You've just described two things that will help you feel better, at least short-term: stay around people, and keep busy.
From experience, I know that you'll feel better in the company of others, even if you're just sitting alone at a table in a crowded coffee house or at the library. We're herd animals, most of us, who tend to go into a funk if isolated from other humans' activities. Otherwise, why do you perk up at the office.
Also, keeping busy in a structured way is a good thing that fights depression. That's another reason why you function well at work. In the long run, I think that what the others say about therapy and drugs makes a lot of sense. But in the short run, fight it by keeping busy. If need be, take another part-time job, just to keep busy. After all, what good is your "free time" doing you now?
