Short TIFU, forgive the misspelling.  I'm on an iPhone.

So a few days ago I was on my bed listening to music and not giving a damn.  My ear was feeling uncomfortable and out of habit I pinch my nose and softly blow to re-pressurize them.

So as I am now aware thanks to my girlfriend, that is one of the worst things you could do to your ears.  I feel a very sharp pain and hold my hand to my ear in pain.  I'm rolling on the bed but trying not to alarm anyone passing by my room.  The pain subsides about as fast as it comes and I go on with my night, chatting with friends on skype and relaxing.

Pressure soon builds up in my ear but I pay it no mind.  I soon go to bed, not remembering to sleep on the hurting ear to help it drain and I only get 30 minutes of sleep before I wake up in a cold sweat due to pressure and pain in the ear.

A similar thing happened a year ago to the other ear so I get up and walk downstairs to the recliner and sleep on that to help the pain in my ear.

Only this time the pain and pressure were too much.  I'm up till 4:30 in the morning with this, only getting 30 minutes of rest.  I'm sleep deprived, in pain, and just want to go to sleep.  All this causes a 26 year old man to break down into tears, rocking in the chair and mumbling to myself "I just want to sleep." In between the sobs.

My sister find me like this at five AM, my mother 30 minutes afterward.  They try to help (using Advil and ear candles) but the pressure and pain do not stop.

I don't have health insurance.
<bot>: Ruptured my ear drum for the second time, making it worse then before.  My poor ass became a sobbing wreck because I have been up for 23 and a half hours.
