Sleep Walking

I've been sleepwalking again. I know its been a while since I've signed in here so I figured if I'm going to do so today I might as well post. A lot has been going on in my life lately. I have yet again stopped seeing my therapist, I have ended and begun a new relationships, I am considering at this moment to go back to school by the year 2015. Most importantly I'm not sure if I ever quit sleep walking as far as I know I have done this since my late teens, I just started noticing again though I have been injuring myself. I noticed this evening 2 cuts across my stomach that I didn't have when I went to bed last night. I've never told my family about these injuries though I'm wondering if I should. I honestly used to self harm though I have gotten rid of all of my blades I used to use. I just don't want to start sleepwalking one night and hurt myself badly and no one find me. Well I guess I'm posting to see what do you guys think I should do?
 
Lauren, tell your family what is going on. I really think it is important that the people we love, and love us, know what is happening. If nothing else it will give you a safety net. If your family hears you up and about they can prevent you from seriously hurting yourself.

I would also suggest getting back into therapy. If your past therapist wasn't working for you, then find another, but don't try to go it alone.

Blessing to you, be well.
 
If you have someone to share it with then I think you should share it. Getting it out of your head may be all it needs to stop happening. Plus it will make others aware when they see you. Do what you need to do to be safe.
 
I wanted to add I have been writing poetry again and that I don't tend to sleep walk if I do write something before bed. Maybe it makes some sort of difference I'm not sure.
