Some tips for managing schizoaffective symptoms include: navigating through the symptoms without engaging in them, ignoring voices and focusing on something else, treating oneself to self-care activities like taking a bath or listening to calming music, relying on medication when necessary, and using coping skills such as recognizing hallucinations and grounding oneself in reality. One person mentioned taking a video of where they see a visual hallucination and watching it back once they've calmed down to determine if it's real or not. Another tip is to sleep with background noise, like rain videos, to help prevent auditory hallucinations.
