Hi Turpintine,

Are you a painter? Just thought I'd mention turpintine can irritate the central nervous system when inhaled, so it's good to air the room you're painting/using it in thoroughly, and ideally not sleep in that room.

Also fish oil has been beneficial for bipolar and schizophrenia and other brain problems, so I'm thinking it might be good for schizoaffective too - you might want to check with your doctor if it's okay to take it. For me, nutrition makes a big difference with the mood swings too ('sugar high' leads to 'sugar blues'/anxiety, especially if not backed up with some 'real food', ideally proteins). Maybe you can observe what you eat and keep a food/mood/activity journal too?
