Stress caused lines under my eyes- premature aging

Hi

This is going to sound quite self-pitiful, but that's how i feel right now- i detest myself. Please help me- and try to imagine yourself in this situation.

Ok, it was the January exams that made me stress out for ages. I was so determined to get A's in those exams and i took them so seriously that i stressed myself so much- I was overeating and biting my nails at any opportunity.

Anyhow, i got the A's. After the exams finished, i relaxed.
But then i got up one morning, glanced in the mirror and was shocked to see two horrible, not to mention deep lines running below my eyes, all the way across my face- now i know they were caused by this stress, they werent there before. I cant stop hating myself for taking Exam grades so seriously.

And now the skin under my eyes ache, and i'm scared what i'll look like in the future. I have nothing against aging, but unnaturally aging is very scary.
Mainly, I just feel annoyed in that it could have been so easily avoided. And now it's irreversible- apart from the dull ache that pulls me back to recall the stress.

Has anyone else experienced this? please tell me you have.

Jen
