Hi there @getbetter,
I think that perhaps like @utopia said they wanted to provide you with a nurse that had more knowledge and was able to help you more. I do hope the new nurse is helpful and you feel comfortable with them?
I also think that many people do struggle talking about mental health concerns, this could be for so many reasons - such as bringing up things within them or stigma, it's really hard to know, I don't think it comes naturally for people to react to those things in a way that is always helpful, especially if they don't really know you so it can be hard.
Hope your infection goes away @getbetter
