I tend to have Panic Attacks whenever I see somebody cutting themselves ?
and have even fainted on several occasions..
I have a history with self-injury and keep it under control now..but i cannot control these panic attacks that happen to me.
Any idea as to why this happens ??
thank you 
Panic attacks are one of the scariest thing that people have to go through. Not only are they scary, they can also be very confusing. Naturally, anyone who has been through this frightening experience is curious to know what to do if you’re having a panic attack. After all, there has to be a better way than just suffering through these terrifying event, without a solid plan to take action on.

Ummm, who doesn’t?
I’m sure I’ll have a panic attack too if I see someone cutting himself.
In your case, maybe it just hits too close to home since you have a history of it. The important thing now is you have ceased to do so and I hope you don’t go back to it.

well, it’s kinda hard to pin point why if I don’t know what exactly is going through your mind… what is it you think of? what do you feel?
But since, you have a history of it, I can take a guess. You could be showing empathy (feeling pain as though you are literally suffering with that person–sympathy is when you feel bad, but you don’t really know what they’re going through).
It’s possible that you’re reliving what has happened to you. Reliving what you felt when you did it, what made you upset, maybe feelings of regret. It might be happening subconsciously like a reflex.
I used to have panic attacks too, but mine were more like realizing something that my mind couldn’t understand yet.
