I was watching greys last night and I started crying, yeah I cry about fiction all the time.

My skin got all puffy and blotchy which is normal. However, this morning I have black eyes. :noway:
So now I can't do anything because I look like I was beat up.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?
This has never happened before, I cry all the time but, they go red for a while and it lasts an hour tops.

Any suggestions?

    Grey's was a rough one last night. George being John Doe blew me away. He did look really handsome in his uniform at the end though.

    Try some cold compresses and see if that helps. It is always better to cry over fiction then to have to cry over fact/real life.

    I've heard of this stuff you can put on your eyes that has caffeine in it that decreases puffiness in your eyes. I was considering buying some of that. I don't watch Grey's, but I've had puffy eyes from crying and it really sucks.

    I have heard wet tea bags do the same thing but have never tried it.

    Cucumber slices work really well too!
    When I really get going, my eyes swell completely shut and I look like an alien the next day!
    I was too stunned to cry last night...couldn;t sleep after watching Greys!

    Thanks, I've just put the tea bags on. I ate the end of the cucumber in my salad last night. haha didn't think to save any for my face.

    The thing is that they aren't puffy anymore, just bruised. I don't think there's anything to do about the colour.
