Is it normal to get panic attacks over old pictures?

I accidentally found some old pictures I took years ago when I used to harm myself and fresh wounds were clearly visible on this picture. It gave me a huge panic attack and even now I'm still shaking and I'm wondering if this is normal. It felt so real, I could even smell the blood and feel the pain in my arms even though I knew this is over and it happened ages ago. I got over self harm about 3 years ago so I don't understand why it's still bothering me that much

    It's okay to feel like this because you passed through this in a part of your life. It's bothering you because you regret what you did .if you didn't get over harming yourself then you need help and should see a doctor . If you still feel that bad then get rid of these pictures and get over all of this

    I think it's just regret.
    I would get rid of those pictures so they won't bother you again and you could just move on.
