You do have something to give structure to your life, right? The atheists on here would, ah, crucify me if I suggested church, but social clubs, political parties, whatever. It seems to me that if you're paranoid, it makes sense to find a group of people you trust/can learn to trust, let them serve as something of an anchor to reality. That way you'll have somebody to talk you down when you get a case of the freak-outs.
And of course, professional help, we're no substitute, all the other things that have been said before in this thread. To which I've added my $0.02.

there are a lot of stereotypes about the disease, however, that simply arent true for everyone.
In my psych classes, I didn't hear about "positive" and "negative" forms of schizophrenia. The prof and book both mentioned three subtypes: paranoid (what you have), catatonic (the really rare one whose sufferers can be molded into uncomfortable positions and remain that way, perfectly still, for hours) and a type I can't recall the name of, one that makes you babble gibberish relentlessly while not appearing to recognize your surroundings at all. Maybe that was old information, though.
