Venlafaxine 75mg once a day I was on 335mg but it made me suicidal and feel really untouchable at that dose so I was told wean down and they'd sort out a new antidepressant, but as I've weaned down I feel like I've hit the therapeutic gold spot as I feel way more normal than I did.

Not selfish at all. Your health and well-being comes before anything else, especially an optional extra like volunteering. If you want to compromise you could ask to defer it a year or until you feel more able.

Look after yourself first.
Drop the charity work, don't overwhelm yourself.

We have nothing in this world if we do not have our health and our sanity.🌻

The opposite of selfish. Sensible. You put your recovery at risk and put the charity at risk too if you take it on when you aren't up to it. Concentrate on getting better so after, if you want, you can do something like this and be great at it.
