Panic Attacks and Appearance

Ive been having a lot of anxiety since I moved to japan. This has caused me to develop really red sensitive skin, my face looks like a tomato. I am very stressed, and it gets worse. How do I accept myself the way I am? My triggers are talking to people (even family) and looking in mirrors. If I accidentally look in a mirror I break down and cry at my appearance.
Do any of you avoid the mirror?

Hi @injapan <3
I haven't come across this but it must be very distressing for you. It's one of those symptoms that the more you stress about it the worse it becomes.
Have you tried Mindfulness? here's a link that would be very worthwhile checking out.
