Thinking Suicidal Thoughts

Thinking Suicidal Thoughts

I was afraid I’d be locked up in a hospital indefinitely for the crime of having thoughts I didn’t want in the first place.

To Feel Like Myself Again

February 14, 2022/ Gordon Corsetti
To Feel Like Myself Again

I call my recovery permanent because that’s the only way I can deal with not having permanent answers in recovery.

How to Not Get Upset

August 23, 2021/ Gordon Corsetti
How to Not Get Upset

No one taught me how to process taunts, criticism, and outright insults as more reflective of the character of the person lobbing them than that of my own.

What's It Like to Be Suicidal?

May 07, 2021/ Gordon Corsetti
What's It Like to Be Suicidal?

Telling anyone you’re suicidal feels as socially unacceptable as streaking through a funeral procession.

It Will Be Hard

August 04, 2020/ Gordon Corsetti
It Will Be Hard

My studies led me to two conclusions. One, I was not alone in my experiences. Two, it was possible to live a fulfilling life with mental illness.

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.
