Cayden The Dissapointment they ARE so alike :/ I honestly didnt even realize how alike they were until i made the video, because initially i wanted the video to show all of their manic and depression scenes but as i was piecing it together i saw all of the similarities. Really sad
Matty Green she is a bad person though. She was selfish. She chose herself over her kids. Yes ian and monica both had their instances when they ran away but ian saw the danger and the negative effects whereas monica didnt care. She had a choice to take her medication and she has consistently decided against it. The difference between her and ian is that ian sees how much this mental disorder has destroyed the family and he doesnt want to do to his loved ones what monica did to her "loved ones." He's responsible, holds a steady job, takes his medication, and at the same time still manages to take care of his siblings and support them emotionally. Yes sometimes his meds go off balance but he tries.
I have bipolar disorder and this is a really good description of the disease. The manic highs and crushing lows. It’s a battle every day we wake up. It’s honestly a emotional roller coasters that never ends. It’s so debilitating and so crushing, it crushes the will to live
the biggest difference between ian and monica is that ian had mickey to help him and monica had frank. I really believe that with out mickey, ian would be just like monica. unmedicated, constantly running away (he already has like 3-4 times in the show), and unable to care for himself. Monica really does love her family but her illness prevents her from even taking care of herself let alone all those kids. She's always coming back claiming she is better because she genuinely believes she's okay but her illness causes her to freak out and run away breaking her kids hearts again. It doesn't seem like she even realizes she's bipolar except for when she tried to kill herself and ended up in the hospital and told frank she can't keep doing this to the kids and she has to "get herself normal" for them so she committed herself for 60 days and then frank ruined it by breaking her out just so she would go and run away again. Frank is such a fucking shitbag and the worst possible support system someone like monica could have. He actively ignores her disorder and tells her NOT to take the meds bc he enjoys her “craziness” more. When she died one of the first things he does is goes to find another unmediated bipolar woman and then has the fucking nerve to place all the blame on monica for the way he is when she dies. What sucks is so many shameless fans just take his word for it too like frank has not proven himself 1000x over to be a narcissistic pathological liar who is incapable of taking responsibility for a single thing in his life if he had a gun to his head. I just hate when people call monica a bitch and selfish, it's like everyone forgets that she is bipolar too just like ian and she needed help just like ian did. another thing people need to remember is monica has been living with this illness for a very a lot longer than ian has I'm just glad ian had mickey to help him out. I really sympathize w/ monica and it makes me sad to know she spent her entire life hurting like that.
aria something I learned from having a Bipolar mother, is that you can only help them so much before they have to help themselves and if they won’t and they just keep acting horrible to you, there really isn’t much point in helping them in the first place.
Not only mickey helped him, he has his family, his siblings that helped him and I think that at some point he is afraid to turn out like his mother so he takes care of himself and his illness even though I know how suck is it to take medications and stuff.
@@noamshukrun7316 I exactly know how all of them feel I get depressed a lot, suicidal, anxious... I know this may sound weird but in my family I think all of us get some depression going on, especially me and my twins, when our mother were pregnant with us, there was a war going on in our country and she was worrying and maybe that caused some of this,idk And I just hate when ppl think we are not allowed to be sad or mad
Cameron did such an amazing job playing Ian. I’m not sure if he MEANT to make Ian even laugh the same way as Monica but it’s jarring to see the similarities
One thing I enjoy in shameless is how the kids show traces of frank and Monica in them, slight things, season 4 Fiona for example seemed a little like frank, but the characters who show this most are Ian and lip, Ian being like Monica and lip being like frank, probably why they have the closest bond of all the siblings, they help each other not turn into their parents, encouraging each other that they aren’t fated to become Monica or frank, both Ian and lip are far better people than Monica and frank, yes they’re younger but we’ve heard the stories of Monica and frank as teenagers, Both lip and Ian struggle to be accepted at times due to Ian having bi polar, and lip being an alcoholic, but Ian accepts his life, embraces who he is and gets a job he enjoys, unlike Monica, and in lip went to rehab, yes he was pushed to it but he still did it, he had free will, he didn’t have to but he did, and while it didn’t fix the problem it did help him, then by season 8 he has a handle on it, he’s trying to move past alcohol because of how it affects not only himself but those around him, whereas with frank the only time he gives up drinking is to scam someone, when his liver was failing and maybe if he’s too high his pick of a different drug, addiction is a disease I know, but lip is fighting it, frank doesn’t
I love how realistic this representation is, perhaps a bit extreme but overall pretty accurate. They even showed the genetic linkage in bipolar disorder which is often wrongly disregarded as a myth. Bipolar is definitely genetic. My cousin has it and I've been showing signs for years. I just recently got diagnosed despite all the clear signs I was showing, even signs that matched up with my cousin's bipolar experiences. No one wanted to believe it, though. Finally when my behavior worsened I was entered into an intense therapeutic program where I was diagnosed and now I'm waiting to see a psychiatrist for meds. I really relate to the whole Monica and Ian story. It's just like my cousin and I. I just wish I got earlier treatment because now my quality of life has decreased so much. It's so important to catch serious mental illness early on. Many will get worse without proper treatment. It's going to be very hard for me to build back up a stable life after bipolar has ruined my life for years. I've even flunked out of high school.
It makes me emotional how seeing all this while I remember what I have done makes senses and I just wish those who suffer thru bi polar don’t give up or blame yourself theirs treatment and theirs way to cope with remember you can do this !
I have bipolar disorder and one Time my sister had the water on it was hot i looked at her right in her eyes and stuck my hand in the hot water and kept looking and the water got hotter & hotter and then she touch it and it was really hot and took my hand out. Somedays i have alot of energy then days i dont. I Remeber this one time i had to see my counselor i had a breakdown in my grandmas car i was crying about how i dont know how i feel and and when we got into the place i went into bathroom i calmed down. Im only 14 and this is the just the beginning .
I used to thought I was just a crybaby when I have episodes like why do I put this much energy when I dont mean it and freak my friends out oh my god im a freak then I learned my father also has it so I guess it probably passed to me but Bad Days really do be feeling like the end of world
Ikr!! Somedays I can punch walls till I bleed, cut myself with a knife without feeling. I can go on with only 4 hours of sleep and i can study for 14 or 15 hours but sometimes i can't seem to stay alive
My mam has bipolar she’s has episode since she was 14 and got diagnosed late 20s she worked with abused kids for 6 years untill she had me she’s had episodes and been in and out of hospital and has to somethings rebuild things after she comes out but I see how hard it is for her and I don’t blame her you can do this been you will need someone weather it’s a support worker a CPN a mental health doctor a family member or good friend to help you through the episode and afterwards, after the episodes you will have to pay people back and apologise and do some things differently which I get can be hard because it isn’t your fault it’s a chemical but bipolar also really helped my mother in her line of work to raise me and to think outside the box in a number of ways so I think you can do it x
What would happen for a person with bipolar if they had no friends or family, or lived on the street when they got depressed? If they can't get up to eat or drink anything, then what? Or would the hunger and thirst eventually make them get up and go find it in spite of the depression?
since im living with bipolar all i can say is if my family was not here i would kill myself cause one day i ran to a big lake and watched the cars drive by on this very tall bridge and i told my mom that i wanted to jump off it and she said that it would kill me and i said i know so she put me in the car and took me home
You do what you gotta do to live, or to die. Some days I'm having the worst depression, but I have to work, so I go. Some days I have the same worst depression and I have to work, but I stay home anyway and risk everything.
I hated Monica but loved her the damaged dark human she was she was beautiful and magnificent she wasn’t selfish she tried to Jill herself to end it all for them
My x wife is bipolar. She was normal in college but a few years after we married she started having problems. It ruined her life and she did not take her medication. It ruined our marriage and almost destroyed my career. She would harass me at work. She is ignored by some of the children but not all.
