Is it grammatically correct to say "myself who"?

Is this sentence "I'm ashamed of myself who once loved her" natural and grammatical?

I wonder whether "myself who" is grammatically correct without the comma between "myself and who".

  • A comma would help a little, but not very much.
  • It sounds too much like that nineteenth-century grammar origami, if you will, that makes Dickens and even Doyle so hard to read.

Grammatical but not natural in modern English. You don't need a comma.

The meaning is a little hard to decipher. Maybe

I'm ashamed that I no longer love her.
