the area under my eyes is peeling.

The last time this happened, I was crying a lot ... like, a lot lot. I thought, wow, I'm crying so much my face is peeling off, this is ridiculous, and I actually made changes in my life so I cried less.

I'm not crying a lot, now. But I am feeling some stress. And in the fifteen(?) years between then and now I've realized I have psoriasis, and that's an auto-immune disorder and stress is totally an autoimmune trigger, and that's probably where the excessive peeling is coming from.

Those were still good changes to have made in my life, though.
