For me Laurie wanted closure and to exercise all the demons that came with the experience of seeing all of her friends killed, as well as nearly being killed herself.
There were rapid edits of shots of the other patients reacting, and one of them could have even been Myers. He was also reacting by movement if I recall. They were behind him and they asked if he could feel it, although he couldn't see the mask.
Why she hadn't gotten herself and was just a loony as Myers in a sense, didn't work for me. Even one of her granddaughter's friends mentioned about this and then he got shot down by girl power, as though he didn't know what he was talking about. 
Her grandaughter then told her to get over herself.
Her grandaughter then told her to get over herself. In the orignal Halloween, there were only 3 deaths, one was her friend's boyfriend. In Halloween II, there was a wake of violence wrecked by Myers in an attempt to get to her, even though she wasn't really connected to most of them. It was more believable in H20 that she ended up changing her name and was a least least less psychotic, only still disturbed on Halloween.
All those booby traps she set up were a joke and over the top to my mind.
I do agree that the house was a bit over the top.
As far as how Laurie handled what happened to her, everyone handles trauma different. Some people cope with it well and others do what Laurie did. Its easy for someone who didn't go through it to just get over it. Maybe they decided to have Laurie go to the extreme so that it wouldn't be a total H20 rehash.
