Pink eye

Amy • Mom to 4 beautiful girls. 3/3/10, 4/27/14, 4/8/17, 3/7/19.
I've only had it once when I was little so I don't really remember, I've heard everyone's symptoms vary, I'm just confused if I actually have it or not. The white of my eye isn't really any pinker than my other eye, I've had lots of gunk though (couldn't open my eye this morning), and a pretty consistent pain and burning. Pink eye or irritated somehow?
