I got terminated from a mental health facility due to complications with my own personal mental health

HR was aware of my psychological illnesses, medications, and treatment when I got the job. I was let go less than a month later due to a bipolar low. I remained silent for two days because I was depressed but still worked, was respectful, and socialized when needed. I was told my demeanor was unsuitable and hurting my co-workers feelings because I was not as outgoing as I usually am. This happened in a no-fault state and the reason I was given for termination was “violation of probationary period”. Because of the toll this has had on my mental health I am resorting to checking myself in to a mental health treatment center. This is how this field of mental health work truly thinks of those they aspire to help. I'm not worthy of helping others because I myself have a mental illness.
