I am in a slightly unusual situation and I cannot understand where it fits in the official guidelines. All I am hearing is that I should use 'common sense' and only travel if 'reasonable' but unsuprisingly I can't make sense of subjective concepts like that, especially in this rapidly changing global crisis.
Shortly after the lockdown announcement, I made an hour long journey to my partner's house to self-isolate there. I've now been here about 4 weeks and I need to return home (my cat is being looked after by a friend but this isn't possible long term, I also need my medication, etc.) Will I get stopped? I will be driven home by a friend who has also been isolating, said friend is then going to stay with me during the lockdown because I am very anxious to be on my own and I don't trust myself not to relapse into dangerous behavior given the stressful circumstances.
Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? How do I explain this to the police if I am stopped, it already sounds convoluted and I'm scared they'll think I'm lying. I pass as neurotypical, I have my own flat etc. The guidelines are saying not to travel and to isolate, but I have to return to my house and I cannot do so alone. While I understand there is some leeway for medical issues, I can't prove I'm autistic.
