Oh..the many nights I cried myself to sleep to wake up to beautifully swollen eyes. Ick.
The cold compress doesn't seem to work well for my puffy eyes, but you can certainly try it. I usually just splash freezing cold water over my eyes a couple times and I hold it there for about 5 seconds.
They say drink lots of water when you have puffy eyes, because it's a sign of water retention or something.
I've also heard you can chill two teabags in the fridge and hold those over your eyes. I would put em' in the freezer, it'll probably be faster that way.
What I recommend, because this is what I do, I put on white eye shadow (I don't know if a darker one would look better or worse, but you can experiment, I just know white works for me) and a thin line of black eyeliner (under the lashes), or make it really thin if you want it on top, and some mascara. It makes it less noticeable, well for me it has. You could give it a shot, see if it works.
I've never tried the cucumbers, but that's well worth a try.
Has anyone here on hubpages actually put cucumbers over their eyes, did it work?
You can also try a gel-pack, I like those things, but I end up falling fastly asleep, lol
Oh yeah, and don't rub your eyes! Avoid touching them as well.
Get a good night's sleep the next time around and no crying this time!! Or else you'll have to go through all that trouble again to have puffless eyes.
As the day goes on, you will notice a difference. They most likely will go down and be much less noticeable......unless of course you got somethin' funky goin' on with your eyes! jk =)
Or, see if you can get away with a pair of stunna shades to disguise them. Hey, my mom does that it drives me nuts, cause I can't see where she's lookin' and she'll wear em' inside...I'm like MA We're inside take those darn things off!
She doesn't listen to me though, haha....what mom listens to their kid anyway! lol
Well, that's another idea, hope these helped some, for when you do get those puffed up eyes (hopefully not though). BUT just in case, come to this hub and you'll find all the answers your lookin' for to get rid of puffy eyes. Well, maybe not so much, but I tried.......I hope that counts for somethin!;0)
Comments
lol I wish it were that easy :) Thnx for the comment girlie! When I was a kid, I never had tears, something wrong with my tear ducts I think, ofcourse until I got a b/f that I discovered them
Cumcumbers work some and also kiwi is great , but really the eyes are swollen, so anything cold will bring the puffiness down, like 20 -30 mins, for a couple of times.
Aww dont cry , Im assuming you can get online ,find some inspirational sites ,or have at least one good friend who will remind you that you are loved ,even when you feel 'unlovely' ! To Your BEST Life-Ekiwi
my eyes are puffy at the moment :) and im trying to find the remedies for it
LOL. i've just been crying and needed to find a way to keep my eyes from being puffy tomorrow morning. this cheered me right up. lol.
I cried last night really hard and I woke up this morning feeling like I had two black eyes! Its my first year of college and I have class later, so I'm trying to make them go down! We'll see if any of these work. I don't have cucumbers or kiwi's but I have teabags. Might just try cold water though
yeah ive just been crying for so long, im 15 so you can probly understand that its about nothing really. i look like i have 2 black eyes its that bad and i cant really look at the screen. i think i might try the tea bag oone. sounds good to me :D

God I have just been crying like a retard and found this. I hope it helps.. Even though I am sleepy as hell now after all the crying... I am forcing myself to depuff my eyes a little before heading to bed. :( going to try cold water, gel packs and tea bags. (tea bags are in the freezer right now) thank you for the remedies. This will come in handy. x
I cried really hard 2 nights ago and my eyes are still puffy. They id go down alot from the following morning but still I look scarey. The morning after my episode I did nothing for my eyes. Later that night I started with the frozen gel eye packs and I believed that is what has brought them down some. Now its time for cold water splashing to the eyes and frozen tea bags. Thanks Ladies for your tips. :)
Haha me and m parents just had a two hour long arguement about me having to quit dance. I've been dancing for ten years now and I don't want to stop. But they say I have to focus more on school. So I'm crying :P and I have school tomorrow. And I don't want to look stupid.
I've just been crying and yes I'm 15 too and I guess it's really a stupid reason. But I've gotta wait up for my parents to sleep before going down to the kitchen to find those remedy things! Else they'll know I've been crying.:( Haha. I look like my eye balls have disappeared into my headO.O
hey dudes i have just been crying cuz i overslept and missed out in an excersion :( i am very pissed off, but i wana go back to sleep seeing as it is 7 49am but if i go to sleep when i wake up i will have even MORE puffyness:'( i hate y puffyness its so scary ahah i dont like it. i think i might try the tea bags i have been trying cold water and it doesnt work that well :(. any other remedies??? :)
iv just stopped cryin. My eyes r red an puffy. Tomorrow il look dreadful. Dont want me mum to see me like this or else she might try to kill my husband for making her baby weep.
My dog died yesterday and I've been crying all day... I look terrible, thanks for posting this!
Hey guys, I been crying so much last night...
Me and my bf broke up because he said I had
become more of a friend than a gf... ): But he
don't wanna break up with me, I think that's a lie.
So I step up and trying hard not to cry and told
him that I can't be with someone who doesn't love
me back so let's just end this. He wanna stay friends
but I said no it will only hurt me more. >_<
When I got home, he wrote "I
My boss did not talk to me nicely and I have been crying like a tap. Need to be somewhere tomorrow morning... It is now 1am! ... guess will have to skip the function tomorrow. Will try the cream since I don't feel like touching anything cold. can't someone just invent some eye drops??????????????
i need help :( i cried really hard last night and i dont want to look like a mess.
thanks for this! my parents just had an awful fight and my mom gave me a hug, crying and i cried to and i couldnt stop for hours. thanks
thankss i'm 15 too..haha. i'm gonna try splashing cold water and gel mask i think.
Hi Every1,i cried the day before yesterday because my boyfriend and I broke up.I woke up yesterday looking like those people from the movie Avatar(I couldnt go to work)I couldnt even recognise my self.Anyhow,i will try the remedies since my eyes are still reali puffy and I now look like a Fish,lol...Thanx (Hope it works)
I'm 15 too! I guess us 15 year olds just always cry. well I've been crying for the last 3 days on and off and my eyes are really red and I popped a blood vessel! I think ill try the tea bags and the gell pack!
once i cried all night, slept a few hours, woke up put cucumbers on slept for another 1/2 hours woke up and eyes were fine. it works try it, but you have to do it in this order.
well I cried the other night all night, my eyes where puffy for 3 days after they looked almost back to normal I cried a little again last nite, has to do with this guy I've been dating for almost 1 yr and doesn't want a relationship other than friendship. So the remedy is going to be not to see or talk to him for a while, no more puffy red eyes...now i'm going to get some cotton balls and wet them and put them in the freezer so i can bring the swelling down
lol im 15 too its kinda sad that every story on here is basically 15 year olds crying about boys.. but its life.. ill try the cucumber idea thanks :)
Ever since I got a husband - I've been crying so I'm trying to find a remedie so people don't start asking "What's wrong?" the next morning at work!!
Some of these comments have cheered me up! I'm not 15, 28 actually and been crying for the past couple of hours because my husband says he doesnt like to talk to me as he thinks im boring! So feeling pretty low. Ive put cream on but I think I might wash my face in cold water. Im tired now after crying! I hope no one notices in the morning!
I've heard St. Ives Eye & Face Stress Gel does the work. And it's just 3 bucks! I haven't tried it myself, but I've read many reviews and it convinced me! Hope it helps someone out there :)
xoxo
Weepy- get a divorce. Only downhill from there and you are still young. Don't wait until it is too late.
ugh...been crying thanks to my a-hole bf been wit him
for 2yrs & he still doesn't ever know when he needs to apologize to me after his been an ass to me. But Thanks for the tips, I find putting cold stuff on my eyes makes them feel so much better!
I'm 20 and had been crying over a boy all night. That's what they do to you! Anyways, I'm definitely gonna try this stuff out.
oh, my gosh y'all, i almost cried myself to sleep last night and then woke up an cried for about another hour and a half, and now in a little while were going to my friends house, and i do NOT want the m to be asking whats wrong and stuff, in gonna try the cold water thing.......
I'm 15 too btw, and im not actually crying over a guy, though i could if i wanterd to! :')
i was crying my heart out last night and i woke up this morning to find myself having massive puffy eyes. i dont want my mum asking me whats wrong?
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME GET RID OF THEM WITHOUT GOING DOWNSTAIRS TO GET TEA BAGS AND STUFF.
im going to try getting a tissue or something to put cold water on...:/
oo i read somewhere that u hav to keep ur head elevated if ur eyes r puffy! it helps reduce the swelling!
yeah my eyes are really puffy after crying last night. i have to go somewhere in 3 hours and uggh i dont wanna look like a freak.
rite now I am hella cryin!! Too bad it's 1:30 @ night & i'm afraid to go outside to try all dis stuff... :p welll I hope the swelling goes away tomorrow morning!..thnx 4 the options! I will certainly try em! :)
Okayy I haven't been crying but I have been suffering from puffy eyes for years because of allergies. After trying just about EVERYTHING, (lol) like cold compresses, cucumbers, etc.. What I finally found that works is in the morning drink like a ton of water, and I mean a TON it really reduces swelling quickly. Also, to prevent it, obviously, try not to cry drink 8 glasses of water each day to prevent water retention and sleep on your back every night. ( when I do this I wake up with zero puffiness. It's amazing) it's supposed to prevent water retention... But yeah puffy eyes really haven't been as much as a problem for me after doing all this (:
Buy Hemorrhoid cream.. It really works.. My high school fashion teacher told me models use it..
I guess if makeup doesnt work then try bangs. im doin it if the swelling doesnt go down. :(
I almost never cry, so when I do, it's bad and the smallest things will "set me off". When my parents start to yell and I'm at my breaking point a 4 hour long sob session isn't uncommon... I'm going to have to try these before my eyes get too bad. Thanks for the tips.
Well im not 15, im 19, just cried for the first time in a long time. The father of my beautiful young daughter, the man who i love with all my heart, basically just told me i was a fling that went too far, and he cant stand me, says im ridiculous! Anyways, here's to more tearful sad nights and many cold teabags!
i used to just leave it and get super puffy eyes in the morning. eugh. but then i tried splashing water on my eyes after tears were shed and it kinda worked :) thanks for all the tips :) i'm 17 and just super confused about life and have no idea why i'm still alive... i cry about the stupidest things :P
Hi guys I really think the answers are all here I get really bad eyes after having a big cry.
Tea bags do work! I previously just put I old used one on my eye and it felt so good and refreshing...and even after 3 minutes they did look different, There's a gel boots sell called cool cucumber eye gel that's really good, also the first comment of makeup if u put a line on ur top eye and 2 applications of mascara does really helps! I no every one has bad times In there life but Reading threw these makes me realise how rude or horrible some people can be "I was a fling that went to far" WTF? Why would a man say that to you, u wanna put ur foot down and show him the door! Tell him to stop wasting ur time... I no sometimes are hard eg the last comment "I don't no why I'm alive anymore" please don't think like that it's only harming urself you need to take a deep breath and get even with these people show them ur fine it doesn't bother u, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me! I hope at the time u read this it gives u some will power and puts a smile :-) on your face, don't cry :,( be happy... Oh yeah and the biggest tool amuse urself put good music on you like a good chick flick! ( bottle of wine, cigarette)
I started crying Wednesday night. Thursday woke up wasnt all that bad ....except for the red eye. used visine all day cried Thursday night Friday morning was dreadful I mean DREADFUL!
I got on here hoping for a cure. I read about the cold water. What would be faster......ice cubes (IT WORKS 20min)
Put ice cubes in a face cloth. Once they melt a bit it works)
This is after a guy I had been seeing told me that he really likes me and still does. it was my family that freaked him out (they freak me out so I understood where he was coming from) But now he still wants to talk to me. He said I not like them (Im not- either). But he said when you marry someone you marry their family, and he cant respect mine (We used to talk for about 3 hrs a night 5 days a week) he sends me text's during the day. I ignored the one tet yesterday, I've decided that I dont want to talk to him. So when he calls I'm going to tell him that.
Has anyone gone through that? Advice?
P.S I met him on eHarmony (You have to try it out)
compatibliy it works!
@Weepy, if you could contact me, I'd love to talk with you, seems we have a couple issues in common...
Same with @hl the girl who lives with her bf of 2+ yrs...I'd love to chat with you, too.
as well as @Emma perhaps you could be my online on-call personal cheerleader? I mean who couldn't use one of those :-P
Thanks for this post, it made me smile knowing I'm not alone. :-/
I've been crying all night, i'not 15 and it wasn't cause of a guy, i'm 25 and i had a big fight with my mom and my brother, i cried myself to sleep last night, not to mention that all day i've been crying now my eyes look like a frog's eyes and i've tried everything nothing seems to work like make up.
Weepy, i was married once and i had problems with my husband and he used to tell me such awefull thing my advice to u leave him u deserve better.
Sometimes washing my eyelids (outside) with my facial cleanser helped to reduce the swelling because it washes away the salt that makes your eyes puffy.
i put cold water bottle on my eyes with a facial tissue wrapped around it to prevent smearing eye shadow. it seem to help. i'm doing it right at this moment
lol, i'm 15 too..i was crying til i scrolled through about 1/4 of the comments. It's great to know i'm not the only one who cries about stupid things, and boys..
Yesterday, i was crying cuz of the way my father treats me..and a while ago, ive been crying about my bf. Man, i'm so unlucky.
Well, i wet 2 cotton balls and put them in the freezer. Im just waiting for them to get cold then head off to sleep. I really appreciated this website and all your comments.ΓΌ
I just finished crying i'm hoping that my eyes dont stuff up in the morning :/
My boyfriends being sent to military school, and it's all my fault. I've been crying all night, and still am, and my eyes are puffy as ever. I put the teabags in the freezer. I really hope they help.
Thanks for these tips, last night i cried non-stop for hours, i guess I'm going through a lot right now. Today i had a soccer practice in the morning & didn't feel like having everyone ask me what's wrong so i tried these remedies because my eyes were so puffy. the cucumber over the eyes were very helpful but the one about the frozen spoons wasn't, after a few seconds on the eyes it would be room temperature already :(
Ugh, thanks. I'm so pissed off at my dad but I'd rather not have anyone know that... I look horrible though.
Hahaha AWESOME xD I am 15 too and i cried myself to sleep last night. I had to end it with a guy i loved because it was the right thing to do. And he was about to cry when i ended things with him so i was just a mess. Buuut anyway, now i have horribly puffy eyes. Ugh, darn puffiness.
This was great! I am all swollen because of crying last night and I
Swear I thought I was the only
One who gets puffy (the crying in movies doesn't help me it makes them look perfect) so I read through the comments and I feel better already!!! Thx :)
I cried so hard last night because I'm mad. Crying is, I think, my outlet in releasing extreme emotions. When I woke up, my eyes were fcking puffed up. I tried cold compress and flashing my eyes with cold water, and it worked a bit. I have class in two hours and I don't want to look stupid. I'm thinking of applying eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. Thanks for this post.
And oh, wearing eyeglasses I think might help in hiding puffy eyes. ;)
thanks for the help, iv been crying all night and i have a job interview at 1. I look terrible.
Been crying all night and day and now trying to find something cold in my room as I'm too lazy to go downstairs. The only thing I could think of was my window. I stood there pressing my frogs eyes against the cold glass for ten minutes. I have a headache that's similar to a constant brain freeze. Awesome.
My eyes take ages to deflate they go sooo puffy and the morning after is terrible! The tea bag thing never worked for me... Will try some frozen peas now before I go to bed maybe...
Im 15 too !!!!!!!!!!! And I cry all the time !! Like every second or third night! All because of this one guy :/ and I wake up with the worst eyes ever !! People can tell when I've been crying at night when I come to school the next morning. One thing that makes my eyes worse is having a hot shower !!! The steam in the room seems to make them far more swollen I don't know why. So if I'm feeling quite sad one night or I'm expecting to talk to the person then I will have a shower at night then in the morning I will sit in the bathroom with the shower running on cold and just dabb my eyes with a cold flannel. This way mum doesn't know anything is wrong and I have ages to make my eyes go down :)
Aww I love all the 15 year olds on here. I remember when I was 15 cried all the time. But really girls you're 15 learn to be brave be smart have fun enjoy yourself but most of all be real to yourselves and others. It will take you a long way one day. Anyways just had a big cry myself . Got a bag of ice for my eyes for now. There are a couple of remedies ice pack, frozen spoons frozen black tea bags. Like mentioned above .and apparently putting a coin on your puffy eye helps haven't tried that one myself. Anyway girls I hope you all find peace of mind and some clarity and less puffy eyes!
I cried like 3 hours ago...I'm 14. And I was searching on how to reduce the puffyness of my eyes. I just had a bad day at school. And just remember all the things I went through and I just broke down. Yeaaah...cool story bro.
Why must we let boys give us those horrid puffy eyes.?! Lol after seeing this forum it gave me the biggest smile of life, thank you :]
Hi Everyone
I am 62 years old and am a professional. My husband has a tendency to treat me well in one minute and the next minute he treats me like crap. My prayers have led me to be able to stand up for myself and I have asked him to move out. We may not get divorced if he changes his ways, but at least I now respect myself and realize that I deserve better.
Thank you, God, for giving me guidance.
Hi I have been crying tonight because,i feel depressed,lonely, ugly and unloveable..i live with my stranged husband, and i feel very empty. It seems everyone comes to me for strenght and comfort,,but I get none in return. I am really, really lonely and even though,,i have friends, and two beautiful kids,,i am alone. I have to work tommorrow and my eyes are red and puffy. I tried all the remedies mentioned here,,but nothing works. I don't want to go looking like this to the office, any other tips are appreciated, :o)
All of you are adorable and it makes me feel better and less crazy knowing I'm not the only one crying myself to sleep more often than not. Last week my dog was hit by a car and it was awful. I've been skipping class because I look like I belong in an institution. I'll have to try some of your remedies.
Thanks, ladies!
Im 14 and ive been crying legit everyday. Im depressed i think. I only cry at night or sometime i know my parents wont see me. The cold water works but not as well. Im still puffy but it helps whiten them
Hey, I'm 15 years old and I've just had a 2 hour long discussion with my parents about me having to quit doing sports. I love sports more than anything in the world and I have a 4.0 in schoolbut my parents say it's not good enough. Apparently, I need to quit what I love most in the world to learn how to COOK and CLEAN properly. They are acting as if I'm getting married soon! It's crazy. I can take care of myself but I need to 'learn how to be a good future housewife' because 'sports wont help me cook or clean in the future' so I need to quit. I have been crying non-stop and there is school tomorrow. This sucks. Female gender roles suck.
gosh i cried like a maniac for like 4 hours! im goin through ALOT of crap with my family, to top it off i have to see my whole family (that i havent talked to in god knows how long) tomorrow at my cousins WEDDING! not the time to have puffy eyes...haha thanks for posting this :) im gonna try the cold compress and the tea bag thing
Today would have been my dads bday, he died in Feb... Cried 2 hours last night and look awful! Alien like even. The cucumbers I tried and they did help, they also felt awesome. Hemmeroid cream I have used in the past and it does work, but clouds up my vision no matter how little used. Good luck ladies! Feel better I'm not the only one. :)
I tried cold tea bags and cold cucumber and it definitely takes the swelling down a notch
But reading some of these comments is making me cry again!
I had a major fight with my step dad last night, all because I was invited to a movie with friends, and there is one girl that he dont like... I didnt even know she was going.. ended up saying things to me that tore my heart out and will I will hear it for many years to come.. im a mess.. I was still crying this morning, then mom gave me a hug this morning and said she is so sorry I had to go thru that, there I started crying once again. to top this all off.. my BF and I are going thru a bad stage.. I needed him last night, but his friends and drinking seemed more important, I finish work at 14h00 today and I look like some freak show, that a bus hit and reveresed over once again..., In a way I want him to see what I look like for him to feel bad to see that I really needed him, but know I really cant get my eyes to look any better, and he is fetching me at work at 14h00.. what can I do?????? XxX

Well for me, I often cry at night. But I don't cry myself to sleep. I usually let it all out by crying, then after I feel better, I will wait for the puffiness to reduce by doing some other stuff, then after about half an hour or so, I go to sleep. For me, that helps a lot. I don't get puffy eyes the next day.

Thanx for all of the non-tips
This site is awesome! Lol. I'm 17 and cried REALLY hard last night. Needless to say, my eyes look like they've been stung and I had a huge allergic reaction. I usually apply ice packs (or anything in the freezer for that matter) and the swelling typical cools down in 10-20 minutes. I miss the days where I was able to cry and swelling wouldn't be the outcome..
Well, I'm 15 but I don't cry about boys.. It's more the fact that I have no friends so I pretty much have no one to talk to.. Im such a big hearted person but no one else seems to have that personality these days. I've been crying all night and I don't want my parents to know I was crying because I dont want to worry them. I hope I won't look like a Dinosaur tomorrow morning thanks to these tips! Lol
Reading the comments made me smile. Just cried a whole night because the only thing that is stopping me and my boyfriend from being together is his Indian family. N he doesn't know how to introduce me to them. Not cool man. Anybody has experience with cultural difference?
I'm 21 and just spent the last several hours crying because my parents are more than likely going to get divorced, unless my dad stops his drug habit. Going to try the teabags, thanks!
I really appreciate these tips :))
I just found out today, that the man I thought was my dad really isn't. I'm only 16 so it's painful. I've been crying really hard and didnt want my parents to know. I'm willing to try anything to bring this swelling down. I'm hurt right now but I'll be alright. :)) I'm just gonna take it one step at a time.:))
Yes, I'm another 15 year old crying over a boy. It's stupid, really. I don't want my parents to find out, and my eyes are going to be SOOOO puffy for school tomorrow! The cold water doesn't work, and I'm scared that I'm going to look like I've been crying. after I bawl my eyes out, they feel all stiff and look really bad.
I cried too since this morning during meeting session with the Vet, my little fella broke his back leg and he needs an operation to put the bones connected again. My heart is so soft even too soft for animal matters. When my twin brother went into hospital because he broke his hand, i didnt care..
I have tried teabags-it seems work.. dont want to work with swollen eyes :-(
I have had a really long horrible day but i know i should be greatfull for many things and God has made me a positive women and i will get through this day,, all of you girls and I need to stop crying and be strong together no more tears should be shed for a boy.. :)
haha guess what? I'm 15! shocker. But I'm not crying over a boy, im crying because...well because im a teenage girl and that's basically what we do! anyways, thanks for the tips! Whenever I wake up with puffy eyes, it usually helps to put on some eye makeup, like eyeliner and mascara, because they give the illusion of bigger eyes! also, concealer helps too (:
Just try to wash your face with cold water many times before going to bed , try the cold cucumber , take ur time before sleeping , drink water , cold fresh air is also good , but never sleep directly after long crying coz diffently u'll have a puffy eyes ! Try all the above process after crying & before going ti bed .
Had the worst haircut of my life :( It's usually nothing to cry about but combined with my Pms-ing I had to have a little crying fit XD now my eyes are completely horrid and there is a high school reunion tomorrow, yay! Yay for tea bags :)
I was just crying :(
just got dumped after 6 years. been crying like crazy and just saw myself in the mirror. I look like girls do in the movies when they eat fish there allergic too!
Hi. Am 27, another jerk husband story!! I opened up to him last night to talk about our last argument, I tell him how I feel, that am hurt & about how mean he gets sometimes and all I heard in return was "how about my feelings" I mean really!! Am sitting here crying & opening up & telling him my feeling & all he says to me is "how about me? How about my feelings" I feel like he's such a drama queen sometimes. He could sit there and watch me cry for hours & not do anything to fix it or make me feel better.. Anyone else going through anything like that? Any advice? I would love to chat sometime if anyone reads this.
Anything cold works!!!!! :(
Im crying because my boyfriend of 4 years decided to not bother to do anything this valentines day. Is that lame? Oh well.
Alternating ice in a damp washcloth for 45 mins will definitely reduce swelling. Watch two of your favorite half hour shows & get back to your regularly scheduled life. We all cry sometimes, for various reasons, but thanks to sites like these its cool to know you're not alone.
thanks for the ideas!
i cried for bout 3hrs last nite
i woke up felt my eyes heavy n couldnt open all the way, i lookd in the mirror & oh my gosh i had eyes like a guppy fish!!
i first tired splashin my face with freezin cold watr for a good 5min.
then found this site. and read thru the comments
i looked in the mirror like 45min after freezin my eyes in water and the swelling went down, its still swollen but not as bad as it was, it was horrible befor.
so my advice: Splash Ice Cold Water, lay on your back for a good half hr and repeat.
so today is the one year anniversary i guess you could call it since my best friend/boyfried died of leukemia, and i was up all night crying so now my eyes are all bloodshotand puffy i think i will splash cold water or maybe try frozen tea bags.. thanks for the tips :)
I'm 6 months pregnant with twins. Needless to say i am a emotional wreck! Iv been crying all not, have not slept at all. Im so hurt over the mean things my BF tells me, he tells me how horrible I look & how fat I look he tells me the worst mistake in his life has been me! I'm so upset, Iv been having complications with the pregnancy and he doesn't care he yells at me all the time and tells me he doesn't feel bad for me specially when I cry he calls me ugly and pathetic:/
....I'm going to my parents tomorrow, but the way my eyes look I don't want them to see me this way. I look like a blow fish. Tried tea bags worked a bit, now going to try gel packs. Thanks for the tips:)
Twins...Please don't stay with him he is so gross. You are beautiful and going to have unconditional love from your twins in a few months. How nice is that!! Everybody else...Sometimes when we cry it helps us understand that we have feelings and they are being expressed. When we stop crying, thats sad. I'm going to put some frozen peas on my eyes before I go to bed. hahaha
Was just crying very bad, will try cold thing to put on my eyes
Has worked but it takes some time. Thank you :)

doc reccomended me artificial tears that's a solution of NaCl at 9 per thousands. That makes sense cause natural tears could be rather acid and that solution reset balance on the eye surface... the remedy is never to cry anymore.
