You seem to be very angry and upset recently, any external stressors in your life? As far as the stigma, well you can't really control other people's opinion of you, only your own. The most important thing is that you acknowledge and are aware of your illness and try everyday to get better. Think of how many people there are walking around that are bad and evil and go around doing evil things to other people. Some doctors and nurses even are like that. These are the really sick people in life. You're not like that - you try to be a good person every day. That's really important and goes beyond any label or stigma. If more people were like you the world would be a better place.
