contagious??

I woke up with my eye hurting on the inside corner as well as the bottom outside corner wheneverbi blink. It keeps watering but the water is sticky not like tears and my lashes keep sticking together on the outer corner of my eye. I catch myself rubbing it when it gets watery, I don't even realize I'm doing it half the time. It's really annoying. I'm pretty sure it isn't pink eye, I've had that before, but never this! What could it be? I have 3 kids, 1 being a newborn. Do you think it's contagious??
