  I'm pretty sure I'm going through the same thing that you are.It's definitely true that anxiety cause dark under eyes.Anxiety usually lead to really bad night mares the other night,lack of enough sleep and cause dark circles under your eyes.So if you want, maybe try moisturising under your eyes before bed, making sure you're staying hydrated during the day, and taking vitamins every day on the side.It works for me and hopefully it can have the same effect on you!

  Yes, the anxiety may cause the dark circles under the eyes. As we know, the dark circles under the eyes may be caused by the not good blood circulation, lack of sleep and other reasons. If you get anxiety, your blood circulation will be hindered which will not give the full amount of blood to the eye parts. If you get anxiety often, you may get the dark circles under eyes.
