Question: What measures should I take in order to preserve mental health during a stay home order?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for the public on the mental health and wellbeing aspects of coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Staying at home
If you are being treated or taking medication for existing conditions
section_content: Recent guidance is clear about the need for people to stay at
home. If you are feeling anxious it might
help to think about potential challenges and make a plan for them.
Continue accessing treatment and support where possible: Let relevant
services know that you are staying at home, and work out how to continue
receiving support during this time:


ask about having appointments by phone, text or online. For example, this could be with your counsellor, therapist or support worker, nurse, care worker or befriender


if you use care services that will be affected by staying at home, you should let your local authority and care provider know so alternative arrangements can be put in place


make it clear if any support is still needed. Tell them that alternative arrangements are required if any of the usual support can’t continue. This may include things like carers visiting, day centre sessions, or friends and family coming over to help


Keep taking your medication: You might be able to order repeat
prescriptions by phone, or online using an app or website if your doctor’s
surgery offers this.


ask your pharmacy about getting your medication delivered or think about who you could ask to collect it for you. The NHS website has more information about getting prescriptions for someone else and checking if you have to pay for prescriptions


continue to order your repeat prescriptions in your usual timeframe. There is no need to order for a longer duration or larger quantities


your GP practice (or clinical team) may move your prescriptions to repeat dispensing arrangements so you only have to contact your pharmacy to get a repeat of your medicine rather than your practice


be careful about buying medication online. You should only buy from registered pharmacies. You can check if a pharmacy is registered on the General Pharmaceutical Council website


you can contact NHS 111 in England if you’re worried about accessing medication

section_headers: Staying at home
Practical issues
section_content: Recent guidance is clear about the need for people to stay at
home. If you are feeling anxious it might
help to think about potential challenges and make a plan for them.
Supplies: Think about how you can get any supplies you need – either from
a neighbour, family friends or a delivery service so you don’t worry about
running out. Try to pick healthy food, especially as you might not get as much
exercise as normal.
Financial concerns: You may be worried about work and money if you have to
stay home – these issues can have a big impact on your mental health. For
guidance on what your rights are at work, what benefits you are entitled and
what further support is available please see our guidance for
employees or advice from
citizens advice or the National Debt
line.
If you care for other people: You may be worried about how to ensure care
for those who rely on you – either your dependants at home or others that you
regularly visit. Let your local authority know if you provide care, or support someone you don’t live with.
Further advice on creating a contingency plan is available from Carers
UK.

This answer does not relate to mental health during the stay home order and thus is not helpful.
This talks more about financial concern, supplies and other non related issues

section_headers: Autistic people
section_content: You may be finding the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak stressful and be
worried about getting the virus or changes that might happen because of it,
including having to stay at home. There are ways you can take care of yourself
and prevent spreading the virus:
Understand what is happening
Keep up to date with information about Coronavirus (COVID-19) from sources you
can trust, such as the NHS
website.
Help to stop the virus from spreading
There are 4 easy steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting coronavirus
or spreading it to others:

wash hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water
use a tissue for coughs and sneezes and bin it
avoid touching your face, including your mouth and eyes
get up to date information about staying at home or what to do if you feel unwell on the NHS 111 website. If you are unsure about your symptoms speak to someone you trust about them, like a support worker

Plan to keep mentally well
Do the things you would usually do to keep well, like eating food you enjoy
and taking exercise, once a day outside if you can. If you have support from
others, plan with them how you can remain well and relaxed. There are also
other things you can do to help to manage your emotions if you feel you are
losing control, such as:

keeping a diary
using apps like Brain in Hand
learning relaxation techniques
creating a plan with your carer for when you feeling anxiety

You know what strategies have helped in the past, so use them again now. The
National Autistic Society guidance on managing
anxiety might also be
helpful.
Get help if you are struggling
Hearing about coronavirus (COVID-19), and the changes it causes in your daily
life, might make you feel like you don’t have control, or make you worried or
scared about your health. These feelings are common. Try to speak to someone
you trust such as a friend, family member or supporter.
If you do become unwell and need medical treatment, share your hospital
passport or autism diagnosis so staff know the best way to support you.
If you are still feeling worried and want more help. You can call the Autism
Helpline on
