So it seems that I need to find a way of accepting myself and my life instead of changing it. I don't know much about Buddhism, but I think part of it is about accepting things.
Any thoughts?

What kind of problems do you have with life? I have found that Buddhism and mindfulness helps with anxiety and depression, and have the option of going to a nearby Buddhist meditation group. Once again I have decided not to go, so maybe next week.
Tell me about yourself and where you think you have failed.
