I'm not sure better is the right term. Things change, your lifestyle has to change with it. Since you had a psychotic break you really have to watch your stress levels. For me that meant downsizing due to inability to work. I minimized my place to make it easier to clean and delegating chores. For me nothing that looks like work, even volunteering for 2 hours a week is getting to me. Schedules are really important and watching what you eat on anti-psychotics. It's not a bad life just a different one.
I did see a therapist for a while but we didn't click in a helpful way. Now I'm not seeing anyone because my insurance is being crappy. I should probably find someone new though.
