Help!!

[lilstar]

I've woken up the last few mornings to fresh scratches. I have been havin some awful nightmares but don't get why I would be scratching myself.
Could this be some kind of acting out?
Its really frustrating would it be classed as self harm, even though I don't know I done it.

I've had episodes like that. I don't know what causes it or how to stop it though. Sorry.

It's okay, I just feel embarrassed as I can't explain these marks, as I don't realise i've done them. It's completley different to when i've SH'd.

I have done that a few times. I have woken up with bruises too. Usually when I get hurt while sleeping, when I wake up in the morn, I feel exhausted, the bedsheets are a huge mess or wound completely around me. I guess I was thrashing about, and while doing so, my hands hit my arms, or I kicked myself.

Short of sleeping with mittens on, I don't know how to change it either. I take a couple of medications at night to sleep, and they don't really work.

I have also been through that... Instead of scratching or hitting I would cut myself. I would wake up with the razor blades by my bed... I ended up in the hospital this last week because of it... I am still trying to figure out what happened... They told me that I was dissociating.Link Removed
