Raw skin, swollen eyelids and outer eye tearing

I suffer from a mental illness first off, and have been in storage severe depression for the last week, almost non stop crying.

Anyways, my right eye is almost swollen shut, I'm sure from all the crying. But there's a tiny patch of raw skin on the outer corner of the eye between the eyelids.

When not crying, my eye is tearing up, it's thicker than tears, and I wake up with a crusted eye.

I'm waiting to hear from my dr as I emailed him about it, but I won't hear back until sometime tomorrow.

Does anyone have any insights?

    It has gotten worse today, the lashes are matting, there's more rawness and some crusting on the skin.

    My dr said to go to emerg, he won't see me and I can't see the eye dr until May.

    I have to wait until Thursday to go to emerg because of the weather.
