I live in a psyche rehab. Every day there's this mentally challenged guy that loudly yells. I dont know how to describe it. It's so loud that people I talk to on the phone can hear him inside my room when he's in the common area several feet away while the phone isnt on speaker. And this is with my door closed. A guy I spoke with asked if I share a room because it was so loud he thought the guy was in the same room with me. 

I'm listening to white noise and I can still hear him and I have it full blast. He probably has the similar decibels of a siren of an ambulance. 

I knew a guy that joked that they should put a muzzle on him he's so loud. I think it's affecting the hearing of the staff because they act like they are hard of hearing sometimes. They also talk at an elevated volume which is really annoying because I hear conversations all the time in my room even when they're down the hall. They claim the sound just carries because of the construction of the building. But I think it's because they're just loud.

There's also this old man that often plays music on the TV at ear piercing volumes, sometimes it's so loud I can hear the lyrics of the song all the way in my room which is further away from the room with the TV in it. It's so bad the speakers on the TV are starting to go so everyone has to play it at a crazy volume to hear certain things. The noise pollution in here really stresses me out. One of the last times I saw the doctor he said I must be sensitive to noise. But he's never here so he wouldnt know.

This is supposed to be a place where people get rehabilitation but they dont do anything for me. The only programming they have for me to stuff that's a chore like cleaning my room, or stupid stuff like going out to a trail and taking photos because they know I like taking photos. Even that I dont like doing because they tend to take me to the same places repeatedly. There's no therapy. 

I used to see an "occupational therapist" but she doesnt seem to know how to help me and she's often in a rush. She moves on to the next thing before I'm ready which makes her totally useless to talk to. She just hands me a bunch of stuff she printed off from google with no explanation and expects me to know what to do with it. She leaves it up to me to decide what I need help with which isnt very helpful. Since she just hands me stuff she apparently printed off from google and doesnt give me any direction I'm pretty much on my own. I get more help from google searches and talking to random people in chatrooms and posting questions on /adv/ and /wsr/ than talking to anyone here. 

The most the OT did was get me a incomplete course on Udemy for the COMPTIA A+ certification. Even if I finished it wouldnt get me the certification. Though I'm not too motivated to even get it partially since I'm not sure they're going to be able to get the other modules of the certification nor am I sure if it's worth pursuing anymore in this day in age.
