Aren't you so sick of the stigma attatched to mental illness? What can we do?

What can we do to change it? I'm so sick of it! I lost my job today because of it. Well legally, they didnt ask me to resign because of my illness, they stated the medication I take for the illness makes me dangerous and they won't allow it in the work place. That if i wanted to work there I couldn't take the medication at all while there or before going there. In their words "I am a danger to myself and others, and I make it an unsafe working environment." I've never felt so ashamed of myself and never felt so limited in my abilities until today. Its such B.S. that I am now a dangerous person because I take prescription medication I NEED to function. I just wanna scream, crawl in a hole, and never come back out. :(
