I've done it before. It was the same with me...started out as small scratches, and ended up getting pretty bad. But at the time I was having HORRIBLE nightmares...would wake up screaming and such. Are you having any nightmares or anything?
I still have the nightmares but they don't effect me as badly anymore and I only wake up with scratches and stuff every once in a while.
Since you aren't 100% sure what's going on, it might be a good idea to keep your fingernails trimmed and make sure there isn't anything else around that could scratch you during the night.
I think talking to your mental health nurse would be a good idea...as Ang and Tayla have said, even if it is that you're overanalyzing things, it never hurts to ask.
I'm here if you ever need to talk <3


Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.
