Please don’t give up medication. I’ve met schizophrenic people whom you would never know unless they told you and they said they owed it all to their medication. I can’t imagine going through the hallucinations you described, if medication helps you need to take it.
Your family doesn’t go through what you do, it’s frankly none of their business how you manage your own problems. Based on how it looks on them, from what I can tell? Only you know what’s best for you.
Please do not listen to them, this is an incredibly debilitating weight to carry on your back through your life, and this is not a problem that can simply be “pushed through”. They will most likely never understand the true nature of what is happening to you, and you cannot let that harm you. By not taking the medication your life will only be made progressively worse, which will lead to extremely high chances of co-morbid illnesses and suicide.
Again, I am unsure of your exact situation and opportunities, but I will urge you with all my heart to reach out to medical services and medical professionals in order to receive treatment for this. I promise that it will improve your life significantly, and you can leave the majority of these symptoms in the past like bad memories.
I stopped taking them 2 years ago because my family doesn’t want to think of me like that

I’ll try what I can
I wish you luck with that. You can make it through this, you’ve got this.
