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.

Read the part of my waffle about its diuretic/natriuretic effect. I (think I) know the feeling you describe.
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).
Give it four days and three sleeps. Check yourself. Come back and rubbish or confirm it. If there's restoration of your drive with a hint of aggression, just add (back more) water.
Wishing you well man.
