Anyone else live in a group home? It's hard to cope sometimes, a lot of screaming and not all of the staff are nice.

Yes, unfortunately I had to many years ago. It was horrible. I remember the screaming and fighting. It was not a therapeutic environment and I used all my energy just to get through each day.
Also, if you don’t mind me asking, was it a group home for developmental disabilities or mental health or something entirely different? I’m in a group home for developmental disabilities and have been wondering if a mental health group home would be any better.
Good morning. Thanks for your reply. It was for MH. I’m not sure if it would be any better. There were some people with dual diagnoses and they said the MH house was more chaotic. Ask staff who know you well where they think you’d receive the right support. It depends on the types of support services you need most. Eventually, you’ll transition to a less restrictive living situation where you can finally have more peace. I’m in a much quieter place on my own now but it can get lonely. What is your ideal living situation?
even if the environment was relaxing the fact you are compelled to mask all the time it will be exhausting. Your own space with in hand support would be better- is that possible?
