sam barrett - I completely agree. It’s a shame i only discovered Shameless just recently. Amazing amazing storyline and portrayals by the actors. I am in awe and mesmerized by Cameron and Noel’s acting. So convincing and pure.

except for debbie

Debbie's acting is bad. Watch her fight with Carl's gf...

I've still gotta watch the show, but I love watching all the scenes on KZfaq my favorite character is Carl Gallagher so far.

cum-fart /@Ryan Thomas Debbie was excruciating to watch the earlier seasons, but I personally think she’s one of the best actresses on the show now. I literally would skip scenes whenever she pops up lol now I’m turning the volume up and rewinding just to see some dirty Debs

Hells Bells watch him in gotham

Have you watched Gotham?

You should see Gotham, he can be more scary

you need to see gotham

i mean i was gonna say watch gotham, but i think you already know

Yeah but him pushing for mickey to come out was. Especially since he was pushing for him to do it in front of his homophobic father who raped his son and made him watch, he was aware the whole reality of the situation and that's definitely due to his mental illness. I believe the show runners talked about this

YUP

Do you know what episode it was when they were at the bar

@@raylynnworld12 season 4 episode 11. one of my favorite episodes.

super weenie hut jr’s I met when they were in the strip clup

So does he acc have bipolar in real life?

Chanel Cephas No, as far as I know he doesn’t.

Thank you. I have bipolar 1 and I completely agree with this.

Mrs. Valeska I'm bipolar 1

Agreed, most realistic portrayal I’ve ever seen, and true to the debilitating conditions of bp. Anyone saying it’s overdramatic needs to widen their knowledge of bipolar disorder (yes, even if you have it). My manic episodes are just like Ian’s, they’re the scariest shit I will ever have experienced and they don’t need to be dramatized to be dramatic.

that part made me cry so hard

For the life of me I can’t remember what episode it is! Do you know? 😂

Season 4 episode 5

@@AllyTaylor1 4x12 :)

It was a Code Pink

THEY GOT MARRIED!!

Kuro Ghost well shit thanks for the spoiler

@@bangtanobsessed964 you are welcome

Kuro Ghost THE SPOILER OMFG 😭

I love those two.

BxGirl Blazin' I thought they did a really good job, I have two male friends who are bipolar and when they are manic, it's very similar to how they act.

It is I deal with this daily his manic is higher then mine but I still do reckless things and I still clam up and shut down

@@xxTheCatsMeow hmmj

I go through this all the time. It's fucking sad and add schizophrenia into the fold, doesn't make it any better.

The only thing I didnt agree with was showing him on lithium. People who take it have thier fucking skin fall off. I would know my mother has it and took lithium

How did you deal with it? I didn't realize the parallels I had with him until I saw this and it crushed me. I was literally running miles and miles and partying just like that then crashed real hard literally bed ridden for no reason and it ruined my life.

I somehow identify with Ian, I also runaway from home but it wasn't somethig that I planned or anything I just disasioted from reality and just walk and walk and walk and didn't knew SHIT... I was found passed on at a park in my city... before that I was really just... a mess I party a lot, drank a lot, smoke a lot, but I was a cheerleader, I was in the choir, I was in theatre, I was straight A's student... I thought that I wanted to be a doctor. After the mixed episode, everyone at my school knew... it was horrible... I was then really depressed. It's all cool now but everyday is a fight... but that's life for everyone ...

Chloe Kessock what if you have to piss

Paula Porras part of bipolar disorder is the impulsive behavior sometimes dangerous. I hope you get the help you need to stay safe

Nah he’s gay

+Amber wasn't he a bit too manic?

*aepr84* not at all. I'm not bipolar though I have suffered from chronic depression. Anyway, as a teenager I was in a psychiatric hospital for nearly a year and was exposed to many sufferers of bipolar disorder. Some of them do get really manic. This was a good representation.

If you are interested in series dealing with those problems watch Skam 😊

I think I appreciate this show's way of having someone with a mental illness be regular person struggling with something difficult instead of like with some shows that have them snap and become criminals and murderers. That is highly inaccurate as those of us with mental illness only commit 6% of crime, but are 11 times more likely to be a victim of violent crime than the mentally healthy population. Portraying the mentally ill as ready to snap at a moment's notice and kill someone is not helpful and only serves to make lives even more difficult than they already are. It really pisses me off that writer's are so lazy as to use it as a go to in their storytelling.

I'm not bipolar but I have BPD and strongly relate to this too much

Same

Episode?

She made mistakes, but never maliciously. And in comparison to her parents' "mistakes" she is still far better.

The attempt to help is beautiful, but I also advocate letting the neurochemistry run their course, when it HITS, it’s extremely difficult. We are almost as in non control of our bodies as Manic. This time it’s just a dead blank feeling and no energy. I am medicated so I can’t really remember which of the two, I am, I believe one…extreme bouts of energy followed by a dramatic crash. Until the meds kick in, and begin regulating (if episode is caused by going off treatment ) or the meds begin to level you off. (For cases of deregulation of mood despite treatment/ it happens/ a particularly powerful circumstances triggers can imo overwhelm the meds) Damage control and love is the best thing, just have patience till the brain finds an even footing, constant vigilance in case of self harmful behavior as these can escalate to suicide almost in one thought. And find ways to outlet the mania to good or less destructive ways, like if they wanna pursue pottery or some random career, allow the exploration as much as possible . It’s not Likely you will talk them out of these anyway

@@lionsjourney29 I completely agree. I have EUPD and bipolar

Jasper Barulo It's not an easy thing to deal with. I know from experience. When I wake up, I feel like the most beautiful person on this entire planet, but than a few moments pass and I start to get heavy, my once hyper mood now somber. It's frustrating. At one point I'm super loud and bubbly, than on the other point I'm super quiet and depressed.

First of all, love your profile pic. Marina is one of my all-time favorite singers! Second, I'm not bipolar (at least I highly doubt it, never been diagnosed or anything), but I know what that mood shift is like. Maybe mine isn't exactly the same, but I get 1 positive or happy thought and it's SO SO suddenly just DROWNED out by so much negativity. And the thing is, I have to focus on absolutely nothing but that one positive feeling with EVERYTHING I've got or it goes away. Do you know how difficult it is to grab tight onto something that isn't physical? It sucksss. I don't understand

It's hard having unmotivated feelings/moods. You don't know If you wake up the next morning feeling like you are on cokaine or If you wake up wishing you didn't. It's also a heavy topic to talk about, normal people can't relate and it makes it so much harder to go through it alone.

I learned that from Skam!

@@Project32HMT32 There are multiple forms of bipolar disorder. If you have it, it sounds like either a ziklothymia where you are basically very moody for a while (going up down, up down, wake, tired, and so on), bipolar 2 where you get manic (hypomania) features for a while then an extended depression (often a major one), or you are in the mixed spectrum of type 2. It's hard to sometimes exactly pinpoint what form one has, what can be clearly called is type 1, because the fullblown manic phase is very lifethreatening and obvious. You totally lose control which you most often dont do with a hypomania.

*talented

Yes he got better every season

Honestly true

IKR!

I just saw how he was acted and in my soul something said. Something is going on this ain’t Ian

Yeah same. For me it was at the club in the first scene because even then something wasn’t right.

Brazenly Me same

I could tell right away (from all the foreshadowing) and it just completely broke my heart

Hector Arredondo When Cameron smiles,laughs,or holds a knife to someone’s throat,all I see is The Joker.

Ahhhh him I’m Gotham gon make me act up

@@peysullyy1057 yea he did really well as jerome and jeremiah i feel like jerome is the energetic and happy version of ian but psychotic and jeremiah is the really calm and slow version of ian

You mean Cameron Monaghan? I agree

me tooo , i though (and i strongly apologize for what i'm about to say) that people with bipolar disorder were crazy and just changes mood all the time but it's not that at all it's deeper than that and much more

Same! I had an ex who would get extremely manic and be immersed in these crazy projects for days. He wouldn’t sleep, he’d talk just like this, always full of energy. I never saw the depressive side, I’m not sure if that’s always part of the disorder

@@ameliafoley9569 im bipolar and i suffer more of like what ian does the busyness and hyperactivity and the rush to get up and go then out of nowhere i crash and i sleep for a week straight and dont eat anything and don't talk.. idk the exact name but bipolar disorder can be either just the depressive shit, just the manic shit or both..

Jason Anderson having just one or the other is called “unipolar”

I’m glad the show is helping people understand it more... most portrayals are really unrealistic and frankly offensive to those of us who actually suffer from BP. I was young when I was diagnosed (15) and it felt like everywhere I looked it was awful, hurtful characters, and since I was so young it made me feel like everyone thought I was awful and hurtful because that’s what they were watching. Ian’s portrayal is so great to me because it shows the raw awfulness of the disorder without making Ian himself seem like a bad person. Besides that, they really went hardcore with symptoms, and it hurts to watch but it’s the real shit.

There’s someone out there for you . I have bipolar disorder and OCD and have been with the love of my life for the past two years about to be three . Mental disorders don’t stop because you are in love but it definitely makes you feel better that you aren’t alone when you feel that way in your mind .

Same

I am also bipolar. I have been with my husband for 9 almost 10 years. He has been through with my manic and severe depressive episodes. It takes a lot of work but it can be done.

So true

What episode was it?

@@unusgang8512 s4ep2 or 12 I think

yess, i see a lot of people saying that him blowing up a van or the gay jesus thing was out of character, but the way i see it, it kinda reminds you that he still IS bipolar after all.

That's something Mickey just didn't understand...he wanted Ian to be ok again so badly that he wasn't listening to what they were telling him

You explained our feelings so well... It sux. Alot of times my family thought I was on drugs... Which I aint gonna lie about. I used to...

Yeah! It's true

NGC4622Spiral Damn. Inneed to show this comment to my family.

NGC4622Spiral This is so true. I also have Bipolar II. I've got it pretty severe too. It hurts, seeing the way I impact myself and the people around me..

Everything u just said was true. I wanna be left alone but I don't want to be left alone. I think im crazy

In fact it wasn’t 🌝

The way he was acting before that.

@Happy Thoughts He is

Prob cuz frank isn't Ian's dad

@@thefox2348 i found it so funny when they found ian’s real dad 😂💀

I mean Fiona is just like frank too 😂

@@yesshh2952 she got better

@@milastefanovic4538 she ran away and abandoned Liam. She left Debbie in a similar position that Monica and Frank left her in. She is so much like them. Given I understand leaving a toxic situation is what's best for you but it was really wrong of her to abandon Liam like she did knowing how dysfunctional her family was... Fiona did the same shit her parents did to her to Liam more than once.

funny thing, Mickey said "You ain't seen nothing yet" exactly like Ian's character in gotham did in the show.

Same here. He reminded me of the joker lol

I will always see him as Jerome

@@SweetSword Ian was the one who said that in the pilot episode when Fiona saw him sitting in the living room trying to throw spitballs into passed out Frank's mouth. I don't recall Mickey ever saying that.

djd723 he did when he had franks other daughter tied up

i laughed harder than i should at this comment

Ha ha

The fuck? I love you

Lol

Props go to the scenario writers. The actor didn't come up with the text

Yeah you’re right 😔

Yes......

Honestly I love it. But I don’t have it too bad anyway.

For me it makes me do impulse and reckless things, mixing drugs, play with guns, drive at high speeds etc.

I think I have bipolar sometimes I feel the same way

Kye face you will feel better knowing its because if bi polar i remember hating myself for years thinkin im just a weirdo but since i figured its bi polar i somehow feel more normal lol

Brittany Dallas e

i have bipolar type 2. thats exactly how i`d act during extreme manic episode. it does get alot better over time and with age if u accept it and open to treatment. it takes a very long time to get meds just right. but it does get alot better with good care and a good support system. my whole family has it. i got hit with it at the age of 22. i`m 33 now and doing way better. under close care. it took me 8 years to get my meds right. i had seizures from too much serotenine from bad meds. it takes a very long time and close care from doctor`s. that is if u have a good doctor.

Do you know what episode they were at the bar

+Jacie Cotton You do know Ian ain't real and Cam Monaghan won't answer you, right? XD

We Are Number One But Baggy Trousers By Madness m

Acting like a person with biopolar sorry if I spelt it wrong anyway acting like a person with biopolar is hard but Cameron did it sooo well he deserves an Oscar

Its called acting
