I have been signed off work due to severe depression and stress. I would dearly love to go to my parents for a bit in the countryside; my mother has demanded I pack a bag and come to them (she's threatened to drive down and get me if I don't!). I mentioned this to my doctor today, and she said that might be a good idea.
But I'm not sure if I'm allowed? The restrictions say no staying overnight at a house that's not yours unless there's an exception, but I can't find what those exceptions are.
I live in London in a (largely empty at the moment) houseshare. I have my own bathroom here. My parents house is a decent size and I'd have my own bathroom there (my room is actually on a separate floor to the rest of the house).
I work from home and have not been anywhere except to our local supermarket or for a walk.
I have fabric masks and plenty of hand gel I can use on a train. I can't imagine a non-rush-hour train will be busy tomorrow.
Is it ok to go home? I could really use the support at the moment. I'm pretty isolated right now.
