I woke up after having flashbacks and had new self-harm scars. i'm terrified and don't remember doing this to myself...why is this happening?

You need help: Flashbacks are very frightening if you are harming yourself you need professional help to work on the experiences that you are remembering in the flashbacks. Are you living alone or with family or friends? Tell them if you live with loved ones. If you are seeing a therapist call them, if not or if you live alone go to an er and speak with a therapist. Things can get better with help.
