Seconding this. Healthy body and mind will take you far. Meditation will help you come to accept and appreciate your situation. I also suggest reading up on the philosophy of Buddhism and the root of suffering. This of course doesn't mean you have to become a Buddhist.

I recently studied the Eightfold Path while traveling through some very impoverished areas, thick with the exploitation of local populations for the benefit of Big Oil. I think the study would have had a profound impact either way, but within that context the reading helped to cut through my delusions like a scalpel popping a soap bubble. My mind, and thus my life, was changed by the reading.

So thanks! It was advice so good, I took it before you gave it! ^_^
