Slow thoughts or no thoughts in head

From time to time my thought slow down until i can feel the silence in my head.during the time it lasts everything feels strange dreamy as though your high.familiar things seem strange and there is trouble understanding.main thing is i feel like i am in a dream.i beleive it is similar to weed as i have done that once.i am not sure what is the cause of this.i had feelings like this even before i was on medication.any thoughts would help.Thank you.

Sometimes I feel when my voices are loud that I am unable to think, or at other times I am just aware that it is very hard to form thoughts. Sometimes I begin to question whether the thoughts are my own or my voices when I do have them. Not nice knowing whether or not trust your thoughts.

All part of the cognitive effects of the illness I'm sure in my case because I'm not on meds right now.

For me, I have only felt like that when severely depressed with psychomotor retardation/catatonic stupor. There were little to no thoughts that I was aware of. Talking was too much effort, as was moving, and time passed without me realising how long I had been sat in one position without moving. I remember very little from that 6 week period other than grasping for thoughts in my head but them being just out of reach.

I don't know if that was helpful information for you. I don't think mine was medication related and I, thankfully, haven't been that slow since either on or off meds. Is this slowing of thought associated with any other symptoms? Do you have a psychiatrist or therapist to talk to about this?
