Well, I'm glad that art is helping you in that kind of way then 
I've heard that it helps people recover from injury, and can help with various disabilities.
I can try to help you, but the journey is something you need to make on your own steam so I can only guide you. http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Head-Figure-Perigee-Jack/dp/0399507914 This is the book I learnt to draw from, and I've found through looking at alot of how to book that it's the best that I've seen for tutorials. It's old school looking, but once you understand the techniques it uses, you'll figure out where you can also break them and explore other methods. This book gives concise measurements for proportion of the average white American in the 60s. This helps ALOT to ground your art.
Another book I recommend for an entirely different reason. http://www.amazon.com/New-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0874774195/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305443165&sr=1-1 This book is one SPECIFICALLY for learning to switch on your creative side. This book will unlock your mind so all art becomes more simpler for you. I learnt most of it by mistake with persistent amounts of drawing, but it is something you can actually teach yourself full time in a week. The testimonials on this book are phenomenal.
If you get these two books- I don't believe that they're too expensive in America... I know that they're a dirt cheep price to me (I'm in New Zealand), but these two books are the ones I recommend that you study from. All the advice I'd give you right now would be straight from those two books. It think that they'd easily keep you occupied for some time before you'll need to move on to the next thing. Just remember to enjoy what your doing. If you're not, you're not accessing you creative side. You'll know when you access your creative side cause the world will honestly become a much nicer place to look at. It'll have interesting colours, shapes, textures, and it wont be boring. That... sounds all hippy, but it's true.
I hope that helps you out. Everything you need to know for now are in them
