My first week with dry eye

I had been feeling like my eyes felt weird for like a month. But I was doing a lot of screen time not good sleep figured it was fine. Woke up 7 days ago in excruciating pain. I spent the next three days pacing running to and from the sink to the couch, washing my eyes. Punched the wall staring at the knife rack. Staring into the mirror at my eyes. Saw the ophthalmologist she numbed my eyes. Gave my steroid drops and cream. Waiting on blood work. But I dove into research when she told me about it. I probably didn’t watched enough webinars and videos to equal a semester of optometry course work. I will say the thing that scared me most were the words chronic incurable debilitating and progressive. But I have found a little relief. But I will say they hurt. And I guess I may have to come to terms with the fact that this is my new normal and this may be as good as good gets for me now. But y’all r so strong cause no one gets it my boyfriend was pretty judgmental cause I mean I was just a mess. He looked scared. But I made him sit down and listen to some videos and he somewhat kinda gets it more. But unless you have felt the pain you can’t grasp it.
