And it's been bothering me for weeks now.
I thought I'd gotten it out by submerging my face in a pot of water and blinking a lot, but it seems to still be there. I've been waking up every day with crap in my eyes, and as the day progresses it gets worse, to the point where I'm rubbing it constantly after about twelve hours awake. It has been getting somewhat better - the first few days were terrible - but it's still annoying as hell.
I'm terrible at adulting, so I have no idea where I go to deal with this, in terms of health care (I'm in the US). Do I go to a normal hospital, do I schedule an appointment with an optometrist, do I just deal with it until it goes away (which was my initial plan, but at two weeks from onset of symptoms I'm not sure that's such a good idea at this point)?

More than likely you don't have something in your eye. You probably had something in there at one point that scratched your cornea or the inside of your eyelid. It will feel like something is in there but there isn't.
