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.

Daily Reminders

Daily Reminders

Forcing these ideals into my mind doesn’t block out my suicidal thoughts, but I’m more able to blunt their impact.

Why I Speak to Therapists

We talk about fighting for our lives and the life we want, and then get squeamish about having someone nearby who can see what we cannot and provide valuable advice.

From Milliamps to 14,400 Volts

May 31, 2022/ Gordon Corsetti
From Milliamps to 14,400 Volts

I cannot help but be amused that a year-and-a-half ago a few hundred milliamps were directed through my brain and now I’m physically handling that same force to energize businesses and homes.

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.
