Even if you do not live with a mental illness like depression, I’m willing to bet that you don’t value yourself as much as others do.

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.
