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 #(more thoughts at the end of the tags) #shameless #shamelessnet #shamelessedit #ian gallagher #cameron monaghan #*macygifs #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

Any strong opinions on those weird clones of yours, or do you just try not to think about their existence too hard?

Well... I don't think it knows how to open a door, so I should be fine if I just stay inside...

#pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #i really dropped the ball on the bg here dont judge i was rushing so i could explode my friend in gmod

So I think I'm over my Obey Me Phase or like at least over Nightbringer because it's Season was shit but just you know food for thought...

Aint it funny how MC is now completely isolated from other humans/their friends/family/pets?

Like my friend and I were talking about it and like imagine MC has HUMAN/MORTAL family and friends that they talk to every time they were separated from the brothers. Like whenever the Immortals really tries them or pushes them they can go to their human friends for like a palate cleanser and a clear head/remind themselves and ground them to the reality of their situation/support from NOT blind lemmings. Like sort of remind them that they're still human and not on the same playing field as immortal Demons/Angels/Sorcerers

But now in Nightbringer that's literally stripped from them; MC has NO ONE outside of the Brothers/Immortals they're literally FORCED to bond with their circle of dysfunctionals and its like now you are stuck in that toxic friend circle because literally your circle of support hasn't been born/exist yet. That's fucking horrific.

No wonder MC is far more clingy and annoying in Nightbringer than they are in OG; Every lesson is a chip away at their original personality and sanity to replace it to the codependent creep MC is now lol.

#obey me nightbringer #obey me #obey me MC #obey me nightbringer MC #MC is so fucking annoying this is the only headcanon i can work with #No but like its so creepy because i always imagined MC balanced their human life and their Devildom life to stay rational but now #Well now with no circle of human/mortal supporters like their friends and family theyre literally forced to cling to the brothers #Its so terrifying about Nightbringer thats why Im still so upset we're stuck in the Past #Its shit like this that makes me unable to enjoy Time Travel Shit like I want to go for Boba with my friends but I cant do that #No i cant do that because I got a toxic friend group to babysit #No but like MC seems more stupid and clingy so my guess is theyre mentally unraveling to the point they just dont want to be alone #Like begging for validation and attention from anyone especially the immortals #Pray for MC theyre going into their codependent phase now #Don't worry; just like with real friends theyre not gonna break out of this for years until they get the courage #Which we all know MC doesnt have the balls to drop the brothers/Immortals like bad habits lol #Ima play with this headcanon until MC stops sucking or we go back to the future. #I miss MC's family and friends who have to live with the fact the immortals took them from them again

the way mike says “were friends! were friends.” like hes exasperated, like will has brought this up so many times before, like will doesnt ever drop the possibility that they could be more. he acts like hes so tired of the prospect and come on, weve been through this a hundred times, wont you learn already? but we know that will didnt mean the question in a romantic way. and him saying “well we used to be best friends!” is a friendly little reminder that mike is doing his classic projection act all over again.

#“but were not kids anymore” core #ok will never said anything about that michael what are you sounding so annoyed over #that was you buddy youre the one who cant stop entertaining the idea that maybe this friendship isnt strictly platonic #poor guy is trying to tell himself to drop it and give up the idea by telling it to will #which will (great job to him) didnt take that and and hide in a ball of “hell never like me” #but instead was all “well we used to be best friends!” #love that for him #byler #anti mileven #a spider was on my wall and fell behind my bed #idk where it went #guess whos sleeping on the couchhhh

Project moon has to be on crack if they think I’m gonna fight a boss with 7 PHASES

#library of ruina #lor #project moon #maybe because it’s a massive skill issue for me but #??? #friend tricked me into doing the fight for funnies and when I heard about the 7 phases my mouth dropped #fuck it we ball #and I’m still struggling with abnos oh good lord #also ik it’s best to do it last but im still DREADING it

another nonfandom oc falls victim to the dialed town beam. everyone say hi to felicity, shes like if government spy drone pigeons were a person doing their best

#dialtown oc #tango dialtown #<- technically bc hes here #her non-dt related story is shes a deity who got kicked out of the afterlife for being too cringe fail at god duties and air dropped into- #-the life of an office worker #she keeps that story here basically except now she has a yarn ball for a head (so i can have an excuse to keep her as a gorgon bc thts what #she is in the oc story shes frm) and also shes friends with tango bc i say so . #basically she keeps tabs within the city and if she sees smth sus she just calls in like omg bestie u wont believe this #i literally only dialed towned her bc shes one of my favs. shes my baby i love her sm #she tells people the head snakes are fake + in person they look like stray yarn pieces she doodled faces on or smth #but they are alive and all have names. the two closest to her face are babies :-] #hobos creations #jack dlc #dlc wiki

y'all got outlived by the queer coded villain who was actually presumed dead for a few weeks?? skill issue tbh

#gus grav #bakugan new vestroia #dont look at this too hard i made it in half an hour before i had breakfast #someone's probably already done this but i wanted to do it anyway #gus surviving is a mystery for the ages but i am NOT complaining hes my favourite #local man too gay to succumb to the bury the gays trope more at 11 #i also plan to be too gay to die #i can make serious art. i just think im funny and make shitposts instead. #my art baybeee #this is a masterpiece actually so its going in my art tag #so funny how they HAD to kill off gus so that spectra would hit rock bottom and join The Good Guys™ #and then 11 episodes later they were like okay they're good now. lets give spectra their boy best friend back. as a treat. #i wish gus had actual interactions with the brawlers as a quote unquote good guy that would be funny af #they dropped the ball on that in ms tbh #OKAY IM DONE RAMBLING I JUST. I HAVE THOUGHTS. IN MY BRAIN. OKAY BYEEEEEE

[gracejones]

today is definitely a “scroll and look at pictures in silence” kind of day

#it started off fine #I was on schedule and checking things off my to do list before work #ended with my friend crying on the phone to me about various things including how I dropped the ball on a few things #that directly impacted their mental health #and the landscape project I was working on only got half done because I had to leave early because of said friend #Jesus how did this day end up like this

No one ever remembers TegakiE! What was your username?

ahhh man I admittedly don't remember 😭 I think I went through a few accounts because I kept forgetting my password and getting locked out, but if I've got the timeline right in my head I was using the handles pantherax and zombie_kitty a lot back then so I almost definitely used at least one of those on tegaki too. My MO was mostly applying to roleplay groups, getting accepted, making a nice full size submission/reference, and then never participating in any of the actual roleplays.

I would love to rejoin something like tegaki now with my current art experience, I originally only did it because my bf of the time was really into it but I think NOW I'd have the right skillset to have a lot more fun with it 😔

#ask #anon #rom speaks #realizing I almost exclusively used the internet for roleplaying back in the day lmao #roleplay on tegaki. warrior cats roleplay. 80% of my time on neopets and gaia.... roleplaying. #I sigh wistfully and wonder where I can find that kind of experience again and then remember I have a dear friend #who keeps trying to start a rp with me and I keep dropping the ball. rip.

#pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #dropped the ball on this pep again because i am once again rushing so i can blow up my friend in gmod

[spaghett-onaplate]

me when

#n what if i cried #i feel so uncomfortable rn i somehow contracted a fucking. UTI #i drank this disgusting shit for it #i have to wake up in 6 hours #a drop of my friend's T gel landed on my finger and i may just sob. so close yet so far #[seething‚ clenching fist‚ on the verge of tears] but i must remember the future... five years from now i will be Okay #i've waited some years. what are some more? #i just need to weather it all. just hang on. try not to combust from rage into a ball of flames #it will get better. it will get better. i just need to hang on D':

[the-travelling-witch]

finding some obscure detail that loosely connects two genshin theories together is so funny bc no way hoyo used that as a basis for someone’s backstory but atp who knows

#┊glimpse into the crystal ball ೃ༄ #also who do i tell this to? #the two theorists who made unrelated videos? #my friends who i’d have to explain several hours of theories to that are already pretty out there? #for now i’ll just toss it on my theory board as a little easter egg for myself #(i’ve been sitting on this irrelevant info for a while now and i’m pretty sure it leads nowhere) #(but then hoyo dropped perinheri) #(also i’m pretty sure i’m not the only person who made that connection so i guess i’ll just keep it to myself)

[troublefemme]

Recently got to meet up with friends that have known me in person for at least 10 years and it surely has been something

#my beloved ace friend was a breath of fresh air. my cishet guy friend was highs and lows #but i do love them both and I've missed them #I dropped the ball on keeping contact so I'm grateful for friends that still want to be in touch with me #random trouble

#hayden romero #cora hale #teen wolf #teen wolf aesthetic #teen wolf moodboard #they’re best friends your honour. #just. i keep thinking about how they would definitely be friends #like if cora came back she and hayden would be attached at the hip immediately #my opinion is fact btw. just so you know. #but anyway it’s like they’re two of the only characters with living siblings #and cora’s lost so much #hayden doesn’t want to lose the one person she has… and cora doesn’t want her to either #valerie drops hayden off at cora’s house (she lives with derek and braeden) #valerie thinks braeden is so cool and for the first time in her life hayden thinks valerie IS NOT. bc she just won’t leave?? #valerie is asking braeden questions and hayden is nudging her out the door #derek stays in the kitchen because well… cop #cora is amused bc she knows if it were her and derek she’d have just kicked him or threatened to spill a secret #anyway they hang out a lot and cora goes to all her soccer games #cora helps her practise sometimes and she’s really good at ball juggling tricks #hayden uploads vids of cora doing some and it gets rly popular #they spend full moons together too #twgs
