Since I don't hear voices I can't tell, but prayer makes me feel good and export negative energy elsewhere.So its less prayer and more like meditation. Why cant you admit to this to yourself?
Moreover; ablution and cleaning your body physically from semen and poop/piss is another difference between YOGA and Islamic prayer. Calling for "God" in Sujud and recite verses from the Quran while standing is also another difference.

Allah accepts the prayer; usually when something is stuck in my life or burdening me I call God to solve it for me or help me do it. That's how I got to where I am now.

I am sorry, not so much for getting educated, as we found out in the slavery thread. You let your, rather fanatical, beliefs get in the way of getting educated, like so mane people. Its a shame.
I'm not. Until this day I don't catch many of English phrases -vocal English is even harder-.
I'm educated pretty well; programming is my field and I'm becoming better at it everyday.

Again, you said it: You pray and you feel better. No feedback at all from anything external to you. So, how do you know that Allah listens?
I feel genuinely sorry for you. But part of your situation and state of mind is the result of your own doing.
M.S damaged my body some extent, but I still have my mind. My mind is quite good, I can even practice programming, socialize, smoke, and do all the fun things.
