How is it possible that someone can use my email address to send emails?

This is no lie. I have gotten more than 5,000 bounced emails from various postmasters sent to my other email address I have saying it’s a mailer-daemon postmaster; this email does not exist, we tried but couldn’t send your email; in a considerable amount of them have HGH Life or Hoodia from Africa in the bottom of the body of the email message. I asked the manager of my email account and I was told that it can’t be stopped, it’s not spam, or phishing, but someone used my name and email address in the “from” and “subject” field. I don’t understand how it’s done. I don’t know how this is possible, can someone explain? Did someone steal my personal computer number for tracking. I’m going to have to cancel this email account and open another one. A few of the bounced back postmaster mailer-daemon emails I got were from government officials & said don’t send emails here but I never sent anyone these emails? And Why? Can anyone explain? Can this be fixed? Can this happen again.????
