Ya I stapled tons of blankets over my window, no light passes through and there's over an inch of fabric. I'm not concerned about ADDITIONAL damage. I'm a hypochondriac and I'm freaking out about the damage I may have already recieved before I compulsively layered a bunch of things over my window.

getting sunlight through two different types of thin curtain fabric, both polyester cotton blend, for 1-3 hours becuase my room faces the sunrise. and I only get this exposure during june,july, and august. So for three months Ive been getting that much exposure.In fact, it's only sunlight exposure I've ever got in a year because I am always indoors and when I go outside it's for a brief period and I slather on spf 70.

I'm pretty pale, but it's just due to the fact that I dont get exposure...the rest of my family is more tan. So becuase I'm not getting any darker from the sun exposure through my window, is it safe to say I wont prematurely age from the exposure I've been getting from the past 3 months?

I really don't care getting wrinkles when I'm in my late 30's or early 40's...I just don't want to start rapidly aging in my 20's. Due to me being a hypocondriac this worry has been interfering with my life and health for weeks now. I just need some assurance that I won't turn into a wrinkly hag in my 20's.

my father was always out in the sun and NEVER wore sunscreen and he also smoked for 20 years...he doesn't hardly have any wrinkles and he's 57. My mother looks like she's in her 40's but she in her 50's and she had so much over exposure she had level 3 melanoma. Yet even after looking at them I still worry.

Maybe the light coming through my curtains will cause aging for me in the future...I just want to know how severe it is going to be and if I will see aging in my 20's just becuase of this. PLease someone give me some reassurance and peace of mind before I completly lose my mind
