Life with Anxiety

Life with Anxiety

We’ve been conditioned to battle fear and worry as if they were substances that could otherwise be abused, but anxiety and the symptom of panics attacks are not simply fear and worry.

Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Foundation

Life on the 7th Shelf is my way of sharing how a person can live well with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

The 7th Shelf was written by Dante in The Inferno, as the Wood of the Suicides.

For me, living on the 7th shelf is challenging but I have found my means for winning the daily battle against the worst my mind can throw at me.
