Looking for a coping mechanism

Hello guys,

I'm a 23 year old student that is looking for a coping mechanism to deal with schizophrenia. I am currently taking my medications and am in the process of adding a new medication, however I still hear the same voice during inopportune times (like when I am watching movies during classes). I usually have to excuse myself and I will often go home and lie down. Even though I have these problems, I'm still pulling straight As, but find myself overwhelmed by this next week coming up where I have either a test or assignment due in each of my 4 classes. I think the solution is to take fewer classes, which I will try next term.

 

I was wondering if anybody had any coping mechanisms to deal with the voices, other than leaving. I'd like to avoid leaving class when possible- because I still have to make the work up.
