I second SLS's concerns about how benign your influence is in a board designed to provide support and encouragement for those seeking it.
If i were a depressive starting on antidepressants for the 1st time (with an understandable degree of hesitation) i could probably do without being told all antidepressants are toxic.
However your critical approach to meds and generally sound powers of discrimination regarding the oft-overlooked secondary effects of psychotropic medicines* on perception and feeling (perhaps the two most important contributors to identity) must go some way to making you a valuable member of the board.
I WOULD find battling down a one-way street with everyone going in the opposite direction a little tiring after a while, and so similarly can understand you're feel a bit disheartened right now.
Aren't we all are though? Why not stick around.
*(on which we must continue to believe in and improve, in that order)
