Getting Scam Emails From My Own Email Address.

My inbox is getting clogged with scam pharmacy emails that are set up to look like they are coming from me. Normally I just click spam and these would go straight to trash but can't do that with these because they are set up to appear like they are coming from me. Don't want to block my own email address because I send myself reminder emails all the time.   When I look in the full header info (which I've attached one here so you can view it,) I can see the email address that I think the emails were actually sent from. 5 different emails so far. Was thinking I could somehow block these senders in the mail settings but reluctant to try anything without some tech guidance first.   I would really appreciate any help I could get on this since Yahoo could give a crap less despite that I actually pay them money for premium support.
