Change takes time. Years.
And it takes skill and right-action .. in other words, if you do things incorrectly, you don't get results.
To get results from Buddhism, you must be patient. It takes 3-8 years before you even begin to get results ... inner changes.
And if you are not practicing under the guidance of a life, experienced and qualified teacher, you are more likely to be practicing incorrectly than correctly.
Buddhism is NOT easy.
Buddhism does not take away suffering. Buddhism is a technique of learning to observe clearly, and what you start to see is that you desires ARE the cause of your unhappiness.
You have anger? Buddhism says don't fight feeling angry .. relax into it. Understand that this is not the same thing as ACTING angry. No. Buddhists will NOT outwardly express their anger. But they do not run away from how they are feeling inside.
And they do not try to "fix" how they are feeling.
You have dreams that you want to come true. These dreams will not make you happy. Happiness only comes from inside or yourself, and nothing outside or yourself can make you happy for more than a little while. And the happiness that outside things bring cannot compare to the happiness that springs up from inside.
Furthermore, these dreams you have .. they ARE the future source of your unhappiness.
You are concerned about being loved and accepted to others. Yes, I understand. All humans feel alone and isolated, and much of our behavior is either an attempt to deny this, or to get others to love us.
A Buddhist accepts that this sorrow is part of being human. And instead of focusing on how depressed they are about it, they focus on generating compassion for others.
Modern psychology says that the more we focus on ourselves, the more neurotic and unhappy we will be. Funny .. Buddha said the same thing, 2,500 years ago.
Prescription drugs do not "cure" problems. they reduce them. And they don't cure the cause of our problems. And they have unpleasant physical side-effects, and some of them have dangerous biological side-effects sometimes. But giving someone a pill is a lot easier than spending years teaching them how to work with themselves.
Find a teacher, a live teacher. I would suggest Theravadan Buddhism and Mindfulness meditation. Supplement them with these two sources:
1) A book on how to meditate (Vipassana/Mindfulness meditation). The first 3 chapters give you an excellent intro to what Buddhism is and isn't. The book is free to read on-line.

2) Books and audio teachings/downloads by Pema Chodron have been the most useful to me .. second only to my local teacher who is one of the Dalai Lama's monks. I have purchased audio teachings by Pema Chodron and listened to them over and over .... during my morning commute to work, during my lunch hour, before bedtime, etc. Made them part of my life, and slowly - along with my other practices of Buddhism - they have started to change how I respond to life. And it is good.

So I wish good for you too.
But be patient.
It's okay to be unhappy. That is the First Noble Truth of Buddhism. That happiness exists and is as much a part of life as joy is. Accept it and stop thinking it means something is wrong. There IS a way out, but that way out is Buddhism. But you don't stop being unhappy .. you only stop being bothered by being unhappy. It's one of those things that you have to experience for yourself, first-hand, before you start to grasp that this is actually a good thing. Because the practices of Buddhism do not shut you down to anything .. they open you up .. and there is a great sense of being vibrantly alive .. both the joy and the sorrow mixed in. Like Chinese "Sweet and Sour Pork" that is so tasty, mixing in the two flavors.
