No, it is not possible to decrypt a message that was encrypted using its own private key. In public key cryptography, a message is encrypted using the recipient's public key and can only be decrypted using the recipient's private key. Similarly, a message encrypted using the sender's private key can only be decrypted using the sender's public key, which is generally known to everyone. However, using the sender's private key for encryption is not recommended as it does not provide confidentiality, and anyone with access to the sender's public key can decrypt the message.
