So sorry you're going through all this and have been left to manage on your own. Would speaking to a GP be better than 111 to see if they can do anything practical? I've never spoken to the MH people on 111 but if you think they could help you with techniques or settle things down when you are distressed then definitely give it a try. I have had vivid nightmares throughout the day and morning for years now, I usually just try to take some time to process them and move on asap but it can be hard if it is a particularly distressing one and I wake up from it. I don't know if I have any advice about dealing with nightmares really which is very unhelpful of me but you are not alone and I know how awful it can be to go through. Could you reach out to your partner more when you're feeling like you're going to self harm? I wouldn't want self harm to become a kind of reaction to your nightmares if they are regular. Sometimes it can help to talk through your nightmares or write them down if you don't have someone to talk to. Do you have any safe ways to self soothe? I hope you can get your support back soon and also find a way to look after yourself.
