My last visit to the psych ward: main issue

One of the nurses there put a bunch of old bananas on the breakfast table. I asked her nicely to reemove them, bc that fruit triggers my anxiety (no idea why)
She putthem back in the kitchen, and the older nurse there could be heard asking why, followed by 4 seconds of silence, then "no, that's not possible. It's bullshit!"

I can handle people who initially laugh when I tell them ablut that phobia (for lack of a better word), but a mental health nurse refusing to believe it broke me.
I know someone with phobia of certain fruit. She is a police officer so if word got out amongst the criminal fraternity we might see burglars equipped with jemmy bar, screwdriver and a handful of grapes 🤣🤣

Is it only old bananas, or all bananas? 🤔

I can't believe a mental health specialist didn't believe that fear exists.

@LordShadowfire yeah , I told my contact person, and she was so embarrased on behalf off the hospital she didn't know what to say.
