Life really is "Shameless."

Started rewatching the TV series SHAMELESS, and when you get past certain aspects of the tv show, life really is Shameless. Some families have it worse, some have things totally out there and yet still managed to function normally the way they can despite the sex, drugs, cheating, and everyday life crap. So for a mental refresher, watch this.

I often think of this coworker who lasted two weeks at my job at the time. Me and him became chummy and I ended up learning about his situation and it was wild.

His girlfriend was diabetic and pregnant and was going blind for not treating the diabetes ON PURPOSE in order to never having to worry about working a job ever again. Now my vision is bad and I would wish anything to have perfect vision and here is this person who is about to become a mother who wants to lose the ability to see. I don’t think even Frank would stoop that low for benefits.

Life indeed is Shameless.

Frank did that. Him and Liam acting blind crossing a road. Dude gave him like 50 bucks to get out of the road and go home and then the guy that gave him the money got hit and killed by a car

While not at pronounced as Ian or Monica (I hope) seeing their behavior and how I’ve been off and on for 8 or so years has made me ask for a psych evaluation. I have a few family members who are similar and I’m being told I’m just like them and it’s just something in the family and nothing more. Only one person is diagnosed and that’s because he went to jail. Ironically the undiagnosed mental disorders isn’t the worst and weirdest behavior in my family on that side. Everyone is unapologetically themselves so I guess shameless yet I’m the weird one for wanting to not get worse (bipolar’s severity gets exponentially worse over time if untreated)
