Answers:
oh man......................open windows when cleaning.. wash your eyes out with water and shut them for a while..Health Question & Answer

Probably you are poisoning yourself - the bleach is emitting vapours when mixed with the hot water which is making a faster chemical reaction than normal - no wonder your eyes were watering so frantically and the fumes are not good for your lungs either and can damage them
You may like to try grabbing some orange based cleaner which will do the job just as well and is healthier for you, your bathroom and the environment and it smells lovely and fresh too..
Other than that you can also use things such as white vinegar and baking soda which make great cleaners too..Health Question & Answer

you have not poisoned yourself to bad ,but yes.. you should always vent the area well when cleaning with bleach and always wash the areas you have cleaned ,always wear gloves too! bleach can get into your pores and you will taste the bleach for days.. try washing your eyes with cold water from your icebox .. that will stop the burning feeling in your eyes.. keep getting fresh air please keep you bathroom vented.. use a fan..Health Question & Answer

wash your hands thoroughly and then rinse your eyes out..

drink LOTS of water for your throat..

if they still burn, then you need to go to the doctor before any damage persists..
