I seem to be receiving email that comes from my own account?

I have Yahoo! mail, and I get mail in my spam folder that appears to come from my own email address. Can anyone explain how that can happen?

    Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in%E2%80%A6 for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.
