that's my broken blood vessel in the eye story. hope you enjoyed it.
A woman at work told me that it happened to her once when she decided to try purging to lose weight.
My conclusion = burst blood vessel in eye leads to over sharing.

Mine is just a burst eye vessel. The only minor concern (besides the diabetes) is that I have absolutely no idea what caused it. Anyway, no exercise for a few days, and as long as it doesn't happen habitually, no problem.
