May be self: Inflicted during sleep if you have any type of sleep related amnesia or tend to act out any of your dreams. Talk to your psychiatrist to see whether or not you may have a dissociative disorder and see a sleep specialist if it continues to happen and to find out whether it is occurring at night. A sleep study could prove very helpful in this regard. If you have a dissociative disorder, there's also the possibility you could be being abused by someone else if you happen to leave the house in the middle of the night. I have seen literally dozens of such cases in my career.
