So stressed about my appearance that I suddenly froze and started twitching

thank you for telling us all of this. i know it probably wasn’t easy to put into words, especially while you’re still feeling shaken up and overwhelmed. i’m really sorry you’re going through this. what you described doesn’t just sound like a tough moment, it sounds like your body and mind hit a breaking point, and that’s not something to ignore or minimise.
you’re not “masculine” or “ugly”, i know your mind is telling you these things, but they aren’t truth. you’re stuck in a cycle of self-criticism that’s eating away at how you see yourself, and it’s no wonder you’re feeling depressed and snappy, your nervous system is running on overload.
you’re not a burden, you don’t have to be perfectly put together to deserve love, help, or peace, and just for the record: you are loveable, not despite how you look, but regardless of how you look, who you are inside this pain is still worthy! i seen a tiktok a while back that could maybe be helpful for you to watch? it definitely helped my perspective on feeling like i am not good enough etc - no pressure, but i’ll share the link just in case:

we’re all so proud of you
