Based on what you posted, it appears that at some time, you associated iMessages to use your Apple ID (typically, your Apple email address.)

To verify:

On your iPhone, tap on Settings > Messages
Tap on "Send & Receive"
Here you find phone numbers/email addresses that you can both receive iMessages at, and where you can send them from
The ones listed with a check-mark are active. Just tap on any you do not want to us, and vice versa.
