Don't know what to do re mental health nurse...

Ok, so I've been seeing the mental health nurse since September, I was referred to CMHT because 3 different docs and 2 counsellors have said that I fall under the diagnostic criteria for PTSD but it has to be diagnosed by a mental health doctor.
Since seeing her she has said that I possibly have a mood disorder too, but she is unsure what type. She mentioned something about personality disorder or similar to bipolar. She was muttering to herself. When I asked for clarification she changed the subject.
She has made some quite unhelpful and insensitive comments for example..

I told her one of my friends was basically using me as a free counsellor and she said "well you have had a lot of counselling- share the wealth"

I sometimes write down things if I feel unable to say them... I had recently made a complaint about a doctor regarding my daughters treatment and how they patronised me and jumped to conclusions about what I wanted for my daughter and she said "was it an essay like I get?"

I could go on but won't... I tried to talk to a GP about it but they just said I should talk to the nurse about it. Problem is I'm not good with confrontations. She seems nice enough but I hate the comments. They feel like little digs at me.

I don't know what to do...




I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
