ian gallagher - i'm not monica | shameless (us) | reaction 

Ons of the best scenes in Shameless is when Ian and Lip discuss their genes and how they could end up like Monica or Frank. Then Ian gets diagnosed bipolar and Lip is an alcoholic like Frank. Great foreshadowing.

Ian definitely had the biggest heart out of everyone on the show! He always wanted to do what was right and he hated it when he couldn't! I love him with my whole heart!

i mean one of the differences is that ian has mickey and not frank also bipolar is bp, bpd is borderline personality disorder

I’m bipolar type 1, and Ian’s character means a lot to me, the portrayal is so perfect.

the foreshadowing in this show is incredible. I'm currrently rewatching the show and it just hits you as hard as the first time watching

As the Mother of an almost 22 yr.old son, I got choked up watching this because my son has several mental issues... ADHD, BI-POLAR, & SCHIZOPHRENIC tendencies. But, despite having these issues and overcoming several difficulties; he's happiest trying to help people, stay positive, and do something purposeful with himself & his future... And as his Mother I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD !!! 👍☺

BPD is actually a separate thing. BPD stands for borderline personality disorder and not bipolar disorder. A lot of people mix this up, so I definitely understand the confusion, but now you know :)

the big different btwn bipolar 1 and bipolar 2 is severity (1 is more severe). people with bipolar 2 will experience depression, along with hypomania, which is just elevated mood or agrravation, and lasts a shorter period of time. they are no danger to the people around them. bipolar 1 however, which is what ian is diagnosed with, involves mania. mania is extreme euphoria and noticible hyperactivity/talkativeness, racing thoughts, impulsiveness, lack of need for sleep, decreased inhibitions and extreme risk taking, irritability, etc. it also comes with features of psychosis like delusions, hallucionations, or a loss of logical thought process. when people with bipolar 1 become manic they require medication or hospitalization and can be a danger to the people around them. ian experiences all of these symptoms - hence the blowing up of the car and the numerous trips to the psych ward lol

Oh this got me all teary eyed

yay thanks for the reaction!
