I think the bigger issue is that you probably had some mental health problems before you ever did drugs. Most people on drugs do. There have actually been some very interesting studies. Mostly on rats. But the ones that have a good life don’t find drugs overly appealing. They can take them or leave them but no big deal. I would recommend improving your life. In multiple ways. First I would make sure that you were improving yourself professionally. Go to school. Get a degree. Enter a job training program. Like welding or carpentry or something. Get yourself a good paying job. Secondly, you will want to improve yourself morally. Do something that makes the world a better place. Where you can feel yourself giving back. Maybe volunteer at a hospital, holding opiate addicted babies in the Nicu, while they scream and cry for the first few weeks of their lives. You may even get to talk to the mothers and help them through a very guilty time in their own lives. Just a suggestion. That really anything works. Something where you get a daily reminder that you are a good person, even if you were not before.

For context: I'm studying nursing and I haven't fully fleshed out these documents because I started this method only fairly recently. Lots of memorization involved I my classes and I haven't retained last semester's information. And later classes build on top of each other heavily. Some of the classes I've taken are:

Pathophysiology Pharmacology Fundamentals & Health Assessment

Each of these classes/subjects have their own link to a document (except I actually find it easier to have Health Assessment and Fundamentals combined into one link/document).

Each link/document can have several sheets, which help me organize the material within these subjects by organ system. For example, for Pathophysiology I have it divided into the following sheets all in one link:

Cardiovascular System Respiratory System Integumentary System Nervous System Urinary System Digestive System etc

So now I can organize all my information from my classes in a way that's very easily accessible and easy to understand. The tables are organized, sorting everything by Disease Name, Definition/Pathophysiology, Causes/Risk Factors, Signs and Symptoms of the Disease (including the reason these manifestations occur), and potential complications that the disease may lead to down the road.

If this were Pharmacology, it would be separated by Drug name, Drug Class, Mechanism of Action, Side Effects, etc.

It's super nice to have everything all in one place, easy to find, easy to understand, easy to compare/contrast, and easy to edit. Plus, it's all saved online in the cloud (I used to do written notes with multiple notebooks I wouldn't even really go back to). I highly recommend this method of studying for subjects that are memorization-heavy.

Something similar but for business meetings, especially if virtual and especially if with clients.

If you're doing the talking and you are about to ask a question to a specific attendee, use their name in a short phrase introductory to the question. If for any reason they were not paying full attention, this will prevent you from putting them on the spot and causing a bad impression.

Yes I know that if they are not paying attention it's their fault, but you don't want to -even tacitly- call them out on it. You want them to feel comfortable and leave the meeting with a good feeling.
