Start with changing your job to an environment where you could make an impact. Then start making an impact - take ownership of your work, help coworkers who get stuck/hung up on a problem, be active in planning sessions, communicate your thoughts and worries openly, push stalled tasks forward, etc... That usually gets noticed pretty fast.
Nobody will notice, reward or promote some guy sitting in some corner, feeling sorry for himself. Being a good manager means helping your team, shield it from the everyday crap flying around, fighting for answers, resources, helping people to deal with hard situations in life (divorce, health problems, death). You need to be actively involved in your work - and that's exactly what you're having problems with ATM.
