sleep

[dont cry for me]

i think ive started self harming in my sleep but i dont know if thats possible or not...

ive pretty much managed to stop cutting (almost a week now) but in the morning ill find cuts (mostly on my knees)

it looks like ive done them myself cos theyll be in like 3 straight lines or even in patterns... like crosses and stuff

i dont know what i could be doing it with though, cos theres nothing sharp near my bed and i bite my nails so i cant be scratchin myself... so if i am doing it i must be getting out of bed to find something to cut with, but i never remember doing it.

is this a normal thing to do... well not normal lol but is it a semi common thing to do lol?

Umm, I dunno Do you have PTSD, or bad dreams?
Maybe put bandaids on your kneeds or something and
see if they are still there the next morning?

Are your 'tools' in the same place the next morning?

It does sound like your sleep walking to me and it's not as uncommon as you think, probably scary for you though. People have been known to drive cars in their sleep!

You can train yourself to wake up with time. Like putting on some little bells like an anklet and before you go to sleep tell yourself, "I'll wake up when I hear the bells", it may not work at first but eventually your subconcious will hear them if you're sleep walking and train your mind to wake you up. Sounds weird I know but sleep walkers should either train themselves to wake up or be woken by someone with a gentle tone.
