Microneedling Disaster-aged eyelids 5 years

I'm in my early 30s and had recently noticed age related changes including perpetual bags appearing pretty much overnight from hollowing out of tear trough areas. I get major depressive episodes anyway, and thoughts on aging and losing my looks was the focus this time. I bought a derma-roller and did a session at home. I ignored the leaflet advice to use a 0.2.5-0.3mm needle on eyelid area and used the same 0.5 one. The next day I could see it had improved my crows feet, but my eyelids looked swollen esp in inner corners. Everytime I blinked, my skin was blinking a milisecond later, if that makes sense, the skin also looked looser. I posted in a microneedling fbk group and people replied saying it takes a month to heal and not to panic. It's been over 2 weeks now though and I can see the skin is looser and more droopy, especially on the left eye inner corner, there is basically a minor fold of excess skin so the crease has slipped down and you see the sagging. I've bought some eyelid tape to try to improve the crease but pretty sure there's no kind of cream or potion or whatever that can put the skin tautness back to what it was. I think this is one of the worst mistakes I've ever made, I wish I could turn back time, my eyelids actually looked fine before! It was the desperate, panicked state of mind that led me to do something so stupid. I am now more depressed because of I, not sleeping, having mild panic attacks when I look in the mirror. Posting for support really, I feel absolutely dire.
