IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder
╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher
#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies

#bipolar disorder
#hello pals how are we doin
#i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags
#and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes)
#i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation
#that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day
#world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder
#which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life
#while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life
#and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines
#over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful
#i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended
#hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles
#world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder
#and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized)
#it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all
#it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen
#so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can.
#we are worth it
#i promise
#anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder
#go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives
