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??

The answer is having lots of people in your life to support you. Do you have this? If not, why not? Are there things you like to do? Things you’d like to learn? I am a disability support worker and one of my clients suffers from schizophrenia and is on a very strong medication.
She is encouraged to live independently as much as possible with the help of her family and carers. She goes to the gym, shopping, practices cooking, and practices writing and reading.
What are you doing to keep yourself occupied? Do you get help and support?

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I won't go on about this to you guys, I DO all of them everyday, yes I get help and support but guess I need more support as a way to filter out the creepy things that crosses a persons mind. I study Neuroscience for about 14 years now since the age of 6 Man and very much enjoy it, thanks.
