My ex blamed me and was embarrassed of me when I would have panic attacks. It made me feel worse and I actually got to a point where I was blaming myself too because I thought he was right. It is terrible that people do this to those of us who struggle with panic attacks.

I'm sure you know this but never blame yourself.
