Yesterday, at around 3pm EST, I was taking a shower after work and thought an eyelash got in my eye. I was doing what I normally do to get it out and the feeling wouldn’t go away. I looked in the mirror and it looked like my eye was irritated but wasn’t anything crazy. After 30 minutes of trying to get this eyelash out, I wondered if i had just broke a blood vessel. I didn’t do any googling because i thought the feeling would just go away. My partner went to get some eye drops for me and I used those 3 times.

It has, since then, gotten worse. When I woke up this morning, it was matted shut with gunk on my eyelids and in my lashes. It not feels like there’s 8 eyelashes in my eye, rather than the 1 i thought yesterday. It is now “painful” rather than uncomfortable, constantly having tears come out, and my skin around the eye and the top of my cheek are sore from rubbing it so much.

As I’m typing this, I remembered that I did accidentally have a lot more caffeine than I realized yesterday. I had a Celsius drink on my lunch break (thinking it was just sparkling water) and a Ghost drink (knowing it was an energy drink) after work.
