Huge bags under eyes,why..you too?

I know this may be small potatoes but ever since I got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder I seem to be gaining big bags under my eyes. It happens right when anxiety comes on even though I am managing it very well nowadays. One little 15 or 30 minute episode of anxiety symptoms and instantly dark circles under my eyes, does this happen to anyone else?

That's an interesting question Peacely. I have them a lot of the time and I've never found a cause. I have thought of some causes, diet could be better, sleep could be better, very pale skin etc. But I have never thought about a link to anxiety.
