Get your T levels checked.
Build a strong frame .
Get back out in the field and practice until you have irrational self confidence again.

I feel like I’ve lost a certain edge as well man. I’m still respectable. I’ve head issues with anxiety and depression in the past 6 months that are incredibly deep seated. It’s done a number on pretty much every aspect of my life.

There are many things that cause you to lose sharpness, I don't know what's your cause or how your life looks like as you didn't provide much detail. How are we supposed to know what's the deal with you? There is always a cause, if you are living your life fully you don't lose sharpness, you become sharper everyday. Something must have gone wrong, take a look at your life and see what you did differently when you were sharper.

I've been the same recently and here are some tips that helped me to get back into GODMODE. It's basic stuff, really.

Start lifting or some other exercise - minimum 4 days a week but try doing SOMETHING everyday. You will see a boost in energy and it will clear your mind. We preache lifting not only because of appearance but for what it makes to your body and brain.
DO SOMETHING, don't waste so much time - clean your house/room, fix shit that you should have months ago, make money, do some creative shit even if it doesn't profit you short term, maybe find a hobby so you always do something. Rest is necessary, yes, but if you procrastinate all day you don't get to rest...
Get a job if you don't have one - the more competitive the better, if you can only find shitty jobs then look for sales (you will gain skills that will help you in life in general)
Eat healthy
Limit your internet usage (computer/smartphone) - internet usage, especially entertainment (be it youtube, facebook, twitter, netflix, reddit, pornhub or whatever) fucks up your dopamine and you have less energy, just like constant weed smoking it makes your mind wander and makes you lethargic. The key, just like with drugs is MODERATION. Lots of people can't moderate and either abstain or become drug addicts, youtube addicts, self-improvement addicts, porn addicts, twitter SJWs or promote MLM on facebook...
Quality sleep patterns
Read books in leaisure time, anything you like
Spend some quality time with people - go out, have some fun. Even have a drink or two, smoke a joint. Be present, get to know people, talk with them, laugh...
Meditation helps you to get out of your head if practiced daily, also look up cold showers
rest if you are happy with what you accomplished

It took me a long time to figure out what to do, now I am the best I've ever been.

Most people become stagnant because of a job they dislike, because their oneitis broke up with them after 2 weeks kissless relationship or other some crap and indulge in dopamine spiking behavious, get into depression and STOP COMPETING. You never stop, never get comortable or it will kill the fire inside you. Life is all about competition, your ancestors were warriors my friend. Thats why you and I exist, because our grandgrandgrand...fathers were stronger, came up with better weapons, plans and killed the enemy.

Good luck!

Practice through action. I'd been in a similar situation after my first marriage. Lost my edge(socially) from disuse. It was just a matter of inserting myself back into social situations and allowing my natural instincts to re-assert themselves. I'll guess u/DeepVision you're quite extroverted and sociable when you choose to be. Trust those qualities are still there; they just need the cobwebs blown out.

Godspeed and good luck!

Sounds like complacency. Keep a journal. Focus on a few things of the day you feel you fucked up, and two or three things you'd like to do better the next day.

It may be holding frame, passing tests, lifting, whatever. Get it to the front of your brain and keep it in focus.

The world ain't gonna stop testing, and needing you to stay improving. Either focus on riding the waves, or you'll sink.

Put a point onto your charisma tree when you level up to pass speech skill checks easier. Then level up your speech and you should be good to go.
