Well, I think this nurse is probably not equiped to work with you from what you've said. Not all nurses are good at what they do, just like any other job. She doesn't seem to have the compasion required or something. When I was in the hospital for physical reasons for 2 weeks, I had some great nurses, but then I kept getting assigned one terrible nurse during the day shift. She was so annoying and lacked compasion and at one point came in and said, "I'm moving you to the ICU because you're not recovering." Well, I burst into tears because I was terrified, and my husband flipped out. Luckily my surgeon came and in and assured us I wasn't going to ICU and I was recovering. That incompitent nurse was just trying to push me off on someone else....

So don't take it personally.

Yes, at the time of my episode I believed it. 100%. Nothing anyone could have said would make me not believe it. I had seen things with my eyes, been "chased" through the streets at night, was being "stalked" and called the cops a few times. But, you know, no one cared about me. No one bothered to even say "maybe you need medicine," which I probably did. It lasted for around 5 years without fail. 5 years no one said maybe I should talk to a doctor or anything. I don't know what eventually made it stop. I was never on meds, never saw a pdoc, nothing. So, it went away on its own. But, I did suffer a pretty major trauma and maybe that snapped me out of it... I don't know. If I knew what it was, I'd tell you, because maybe it could help you, too.
