Try an experiment, "thicken up". Reduce any free water you're drinking down to a bare minimum of tongue sized sips, at least a little on top of meals, maybe a little in between. Pack in as many dense, "solid" calories as you can in three feeding windows. Salt your food. Eat over and above your hunger. While your renal function responds, forgive issues with cognitive fog, somnolence and flatter moods.
Any other drinks, thicken them up even more with a teaspoon of sugar and a tiny pinch of salt. A 500mg taurine and 200mg caffeine supplement could speed up your bounce but they're optional (and cheap ofc).
I want to try this.

By all means, give it a go. Nothing to lose from a comfortable enough baseline.
I've moved fluid balance a lot on purpose and found circulatory/renal function to fall in to patterns around my behaviour. Escaping one pattern in to another just involves resisting some compulsions/senses that accompany them. And they feel quite distinct.
Probably sounds a bit woo in conversation without a write up and citation. In many ways I think Ray already said it, I'd just put it differently. If energy and structure are interdependent, what is structure, it's flow, formation and dissolution. Even bone has a high water content and colloid-like structure. And how do narcotic (like cannabis) or other insults disrupt it. A lot can be said.

I'll also just add that taurine's osmotic properties are quite well documented and understood. But I don't see it mentioned of caffeine much. Obviously those supplements help with the interim/adjustment in cognition and senses, but that's probably not all...

before covid I had a girlfriend who broke my heart into thinking I’d never love someone the way I loved her again. When covid rolled around I get heavy on the weed. Essentially frying my brain for 8 months before one day I pretty much had a panic attack where I passed out. Ever since then I feel like the curiosity and sense of adventure I had at my healthiest points has just vanished in to thin air.
sounds like a serotonergic state (numbness, apathy, dissociation, feeling "closed in" etc) , did you put an end to the weed after that? do you have heart problems or blood flow issues? how is your sleep do you dream excessively & intense (if no longer on weed)? whats your temperature under the tongue 1hr after eating? and is your salt intake low (detrimentally low?)?
do you feel this , at decent volume

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWxbhC44p2wExcellent test cs. Legit.
And if not that vibe they'll have another. Everyone does. Effect they elicit may as well be body temperature or a blood test.

Okay so this is what it does exactly.
So should I drink as minimal amounts of liquid as possible?

hey man, if you are listening to music with "lyrics" in it i suggest you stop and for some time only listen to electronic & classical music instead. put on some good classic hardstyle and you will feel the spark of life.

@cs3000 no heart problems, circulation isn’t great and limbs fall asleep when I sit down to poop or lay on them weird. Dreams happen but rarely are good. Sometimes they aren’t even nightmares they’re just weird, cryptic and evoke a sense of general confusion. Been off of weed for good for 6 months, before that I had taken several month breaks but also had t completely quit it. I’m done with it now it doesn’t even make me feel euphoric, just paranoid and weak

Need some more context. Any other physical symptoms? Are you participating in activities that you enjoy?
-
It is a physical health issue. I would reccomend being active in the sun. Most people sit too much. Inactivity is the killer.
