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??

Yeah I wish I could have my old mind back too. Schizophrenia made me leave school in my last year too. At the time I didn't realize what was going on. If you ever want to talk about what it's like with someone who might be able to understand the kinds of things you're dealing with, feel free to message me.
