How not to feel helpless against the fact dukkha is everywhere?

While meditating today, I realized that I am very very far away from attaining any kind of relief from suffering. In particular, I am referring to suffering from the endless/insatiable human condition of wanting something else/new. I kind of see how me wanting to feel better about this goes in opposition to the realistic view proposed by Buddishm, in which suffering must be accepted as a inherent part of life. Nevertheless, there is something still not clicking in my head, which makes me feel at constant unease. I saw this answer , in particular the part > Existence is dukkha is not a decree, it's a diagnosis, and you can smile that it's already been diagnosed, and there is a cure and **many people have already gotten cured.** but I can only think that getting "cured" may take decades and is only attainable by monks and people devoted solely to getting cured. How can I approach this situation? Thanks in advance. For context, I am new to meditation and Buddhism.
