I can't sleep and this has been bugging me for a while now, so i figured I'd ask. I was born in a Christian family and have always gone to church, just recently i decided to pray to accept Jesus, but nothing has changed. I feel like because I've never taken it seriously God has become more of a something than a someone in my life, he's just kind of there but he doesn't do anything that i can see. I don't feel any connection to him and i never have to the point of making me angry because there is nothing, I want to put God at the center of my life but I just can't do that alone and feel like he's not there to help me.

Following God isn't about feelings, it's about faith. Trusting that God is there, even when you don't feel Him.
Also you are looking to change many things about yourself. Change takes time, even with God. God can sometimes enact a quick change, but often times part of our personal and spiritual growth is the struggle. People learn more when they have to fight to learn and get out of things than when things are quick and easy. It could be said this is Gods first run at getting you to grow.
Yes, it's good to reach out to people for help, especially as a new Christian. But perhaps God will help you through others. God works in various ways, sometimes other people, sometimes directly to Him, sometimes through the bible, or worship or however He sees fit. And not always immediately. So try to be patient. Sometimes patience is the lesson. Just keep trying, keep seeking and keep open.
