Left Eye Is Burning Red With White Circle In Eye Due To Using Contacts Carelessly

I have been very careless with my contacts, & have been sleeping in them for about a month & a half. But I stopped when I noticed that my left was starting to bother me. My left eye is fire red, burning, & has two small white circles on the color part of my eye. I've been taking my lenses out, cleaning them, & giving myself at least 7 hours of not wearing my contact lenses. I don't have any glasses right now, so contacts are my only option, because I am legally blind. What can I do to stop the burning at least, I don't mind my eye being red. Just to make the pain stop.
