Yeah it is sad but I heard this quote recently that I think sums this up quite well It’s about another mental illness but the meanings still apparent I’m not broken because of the depression I am not a lesser version of myself cause of the anxiety I am whole full and complete person
And it sucks because its realistic. I have Bipolar Disorder and I will never be who I used to be. The show is incredibly realistic with Ian's sickness. Because that's what it is. Its a sickness, and there is no cure. There are only ways to make it a little more manageable.
@@LunaSangwoo I appreciated the brutal reality myself. I have the exact same type as Ian and the fact they didn’t try to down play it or sugar coat it, like it killed me to watch bc I’ve been in those exact same positions so many times it just broke my heart watching as an outsider for once. I relate to Ian being a “Bipolar Queer” as Frank once called him 🤣
So many people say that the Gallagher's didn't pay attention to Ian's bipolar until his first low, but I think they just didn't want to acknowledge what his changed behavior could indicate. The only example of bipolar behavior they had was watching Monica, and no two cases are the same. Even Ian didn't believe he had the same disease because he didn't behave the way she did.
Ian is probably one of the most beautiful complex character that we've seen on a tv show, and probably will ever see in a long time. Kudos to Cam for being such a brilliant actor and the writer's, creators and the people involved in shameless who gave us him.
As someone with bipolar disorder Ian’s character really made me feel seen. I came from a shit family and my grandma put us through hell with her experience with bipolar disorder and the fear Ian had of becoming Monica was the same I had with my grandmother. It’s paralyzing sometimes and the psychotic episodes and hallucinations are the worst. His character depicts what it’s really like and how dangerous we can be to ourselves, as well as show that we are just as scared as everyone else, if not more scared.
This only has 58 views.. that is a damn shame.. This literally the BEST ian gallagher tribute I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. More shameless fans need. to. see. this. It's a masterpiece. I love it. It really helps people understand his character, who he is and was. How he has changed. Like, why he was so happy and supportive of Carl when he got was training for military school, it was like carl was carrying out a dream of Ians. Like, when Ian was the only gallagher grieving Monica, he understood, at least a little bit more than his siblings. He is my favorite character, in Shameless..possibly of all time, because of the complexity he has, and the connection I feel toward him. My mother is bipolar, and so when I watched Shameless, I feel I had some bit more of sympathy towards Monica.. my mother takes her meds, and she is amazing and responsible, but it took her time, but she was never as bad as Monica. But, I do know that Bipolar gets worse with age, especially if you didnt have a good support system. Monica didnt. She had Frank. Gallagher. But Ian, he had his siblings, he had mickey when things got bad. Ian got out, and he got help, and I am so proud of him. But, he is so much more than his disorder, and you show him perfectly in this video, his layers, and hopes, and it's perfect. Amazing work.
I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH 😭ian antis will be terminated on site I just want him to be happy, to be an EMT again and plant lil tomatoes in his apartment with his husband

Even though he he has bipolar, Ian was nothing like Monica. I would say he was more responsible than Lip. And for someone who has bipolar, he rarely makes mistakes, sure one of them could've been dire. But, could sometimes put Ian above Lip, Carl and obviously debby.
My mother was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, we only found out after years of being with her and the sudden burst of rage or happiness she'd have... We didn't question it until there was an accident that caused her to be admitted. Im scared to think i might have it caused ive shown some of the things she's done in the past.
I totally understand you. My mom died a couple weeks ago, but she was bipolar and only was diagnosed 3 years ago after a major psychotic break. It was really confusing and stressful for me as a child and adolescent and I am terrified I'll develop it, too. I'm 23, but I know that it can happen any time in your 20s so I'm very hyper aware of my mental health. I hope you don't have it, but if you do just know that it's not a death sentence and you can live a full life with it.
@@noni4315 hey sweetheart I hope you stop stressing about it, relish and live in the moment. perhaps start meditation to get a kickstart on taking control of your thoughts and emotions.
I honestly really hated a lot of things about shameless but I think those things made it realistic. (maybe besides the slurs, I think things could go the same without them) But one of the main things I hated was how’s they “dealt” with Ian. I get they just want the best for him, but they made him feel like a burden, especially Fiona (jeez I really don’t like her) and they countinued to make him feel like Monica, when that is literally the worst thing they could do. And maybe I do have a bias toward him because I relate to him massively, but I really do think he deserved so much better and to be treated so much better, the only person that treated him like a human is Mickey.
Definitely the Gallagher's couldn't look at Ian without a Monica filter for a long time. Particularly Fiona and Lip. I do think that Lip began to see Ian again but Fiona never did.
There's a pretty good chance I got bipolar since my grandpa got it bad but my dad won't get tested so I'm just really fucking scared for it to turn out like this and I don't wanna be like my family 😕
I hate how this illness took so much away from him. And he won't ever be the same again but he's still so beautiful in and out. I love him so much.

Cam deserves all the awards
agreed.
Unfortunately, only William H. Macy will be the only regular cast member of Shameless with an Emmy award- if he wins it later this month.

This is really nice of Ian too help someone because it has happened to him before
This show was full of great acting but Ian really shined IMO
My mom is bipolar and my mom suspects I might be bipolar. I like how ian tried to not let his bipolar control his life
i love Ian so much.
me too 🥺

@@carrotgallah4319 ❤
Such a powerful video for the strongest character on the show!
Oh my god, I love him.
Demons come after all of us sometimes....I could so relate to Ian.
I come here to cry every day.
This is incredible

We have the same diagnosis. This shit hurts.

Damn this hurts
This video is amazing! But why there are not any kiss, club and sex moments?
Does anyone know what episode lip is talking to Ian about how he used to be
assuming you’re referring to the part where he’s talking about ian’s dream to join the army, it’s season 6 episode 3!
What's the name of the song?
