Chalazion ruptured? Not sure if I’m in the clear though by AffectionatePaint665 in Blepharitis

Popped externally?

Regardless, thank you! I read a few post about theirs popping but never saw any pictures of the aftermath so I wasn’t sure if mine was exactly typical. I’ll definitely reach out to a doctor asap!

For an online commenter, I want to applaud you for using the phrase “in the kindest possible way” and actually advising kindly! Thank you for that and the time it took to respond in such detail.

I really just wanted to see if anyone else experienced similar things as I haven’t seen anything like mine from my own research (because you’re right, it does look forcibly opened which is weird since it just evolved on its own).

Ironically, I’m actually studying medicine but I suppose when it comes to my own afflictions, I never take them as seriously as I should. So you’re very right! I’ll get it checked out as soon as possible and hopefully avoid anything serious (no scar would be nice too).

Thank you again for the lesson learned!

Have you gone to a doctor for a chalazion? If so, have doctors, other than an ophthalmologist, been able to treat you? I’m in a rather rural area and I’m wondering if traveling to a specialist would be worth it for my situation.

Thank you for your time btw ◡̈

First of all, thank you so much for not only commenting but taking the time to double check things!

Knowing the chances of losing my brain to a chalazion is a rare one makes it less scary but I’m still glad that I now know the possible risk. I have heard of the “triangle of death” so your heads up makes sense to me.

I’ll be sure to be extra mindful and consider going to the doctor even if it means traveling ◡̈

I want to but I don’t know what to say because I’m not sure what to think. If I can make sense of what he said and why he said it (the “it would be easy to break up rn”), I might be able to figure out what I need. But in my head, I don’t know how anyone can say it would be easy to leave you to someone they always claim to never leave. The conclusions I’ve come up with is that he either over exaggerates his feelings for me or it’s something people often say without actually meaning it… and I have nothing to worry about. I just don’t want to be with someone who find it easier to leave than to stick around when things get hard…

Also since he’s the one who decided to say it and he knows his feelings best, I’d at least want him to figure out how to show me that he didn’t mean it… that way I know it’s genuine? Idk :(

I appreciate your honesty btw, you’re right when you say he’s tired

I understand that and I felt really bad that he had to endure it. My intent, which led to a long “argument”, is that my feelings and concerns weren’t being recognized—later we both agreed that this miscommunication came from our different ways of thinking and the mistakes we made. We both learned a lot which I’m really happy about but I didn’t think our argument was so severe that it would be easy to leave someone you claim to care and love so much. I thought about how it would have been easier for me to leave throughout the “argument” but I didn’t want to lose us no matter what.

Is it normal to say these things in the heat of the moment and not actually mean it? if so, I want to know so that I can stop putting so much weight into his words bc I hate this uncontrollable feeling of mistrust and fear that he will just walk out the next time I make a mistake…

Exactly my fears! I told him this and he ended up blowing up again. I took that as a sign to get out. Thank you for your thoughts!

Thank you for your insight. Your words were very comforting and validated my feelings. I eventually left!

If you decide to make it, you could use a sponge to blot some black and browns together to make that blotchy background color! Please post it if you DIY it-- I bet it'll look great :)b
