Dealing with schizophrenia?

Hello Guys.
I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, three years ago and been to a mental faculty 3 times after that, I have my medication and my people understand me and treat me accordingly, I want to know in what ways can a person Lesson the illness, such as doing something other than what you're mind tells you to do? I can't even focus on important things without having to take a walk, yet in my mind that is important information when I am left to my own devices. (hearing, seeing things), wanting my old life back when I was always reading and talking to people before "This" came up that is all I want.

I'm always sleepy, always get cussed in my thoughts and see hallucinate things and Not doing anything productive and unable to form decent relationships. plus I didn't finish school and left when it was my last year in HS, id rather be in my mothers basement than people picking on you. So what is the answer to a lifelong mental-illness such as schizophrenia??

my brother has schizophrenia and has been in and out of hospitals ever since he was diagnosed.
He has ways of dealing with voices, he says music helps and exercise.. and certainly being on the right medication.
I don't know if there is a answer to help with schizophrenia since it differs for each person. I would just say find what helps you and stay in touch with your doctor and try talking about what is going on. people cant help if they don't know what is happening
