Wounds, do heal. Scars remain. Scars fade over time.
How to accept that this is as good as you are going to get?
That is today talking. Not tomorrow.
Sounds like you are reaching a burn out, in trying to 'change' whatever it is that you are trying to change.
Don't forget to step back from the self help for a moment, and just focus on a hobby--even if the joy is gone right now, focusing on something that you usually enjoy, takes the pressure off trying to make immediate changes in something that takes time.
You are in the throws of you depression, it sounds.
