How to I get well?

Please help. How do I make myself better what can I do. I realise that I’m ill but nothing fixes it. I notice patterns and I do think I have been well before but now nothing seems to be working.
I take my medication regularly and it’s been over a year consistently on olanzapine. Is it the med that hasn’t fixed me up yet? I wish I never stopped taking my abilify before I got ill. I’ve had schizophrenia since 18 I’m 27 and for 4 years have been in and out hospitals 4 times and tried plenty of meds. I thought olanzapine 20mg was doing good. These thoughts are haunting me :frowning: it’s so repetititive I’m drained. I wish it was just thinking thought broadcasting was real when I first had schizophrenia, because Atleast that’s obvious that it isn’t real. I’m suffering badly guys please help. I got insight and I tried challenging thoughts, doctor care coordinator family friends nooone can help. What do I do?

Hospitals nice but they stop your anxiety meds and all the others I take and they’ll probably mess around with my antipsychotic and it will cost more time. Plus I’m trying to get my life back in check starting education this year. How was I so well before, maybe I have done permanent damage, is that a thing? What can I do guys

First med I was ever on. Incredible. I held down a job. Switched because I couldn’t cope with anxiety and fell asleep all the time so I lost the job, quit meds then been on abilify about 3 times after and I wasn’t getting any better. Tbf voices came like a brick wall so olanzapine doing better in long run,
