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??

im sorry , its such a horrible illness...my grandson 15 was diagnosed as schizophrenia..he started saying bizarre things April 2017 they said he was psychosis and now schizophrenia..he laughs for nothing, cant focus on anything..cant even had a decent conversation with him without him walking away..medication so far is not helping its only made him worse..he stopped his injections in Nov and now is taking 5mg of olanzapine...I always tell him to relax and breath..i tried to get him to do things, read go to the gym listen to music but most times he wont...I think you need to go for couselling and talk out all your demons and maybe medication to help you along..listening to music and going for walks might help...you need friends or one friend to lean on...I hope you will find peace ....hugs!
