Yes as surviors of mentally ill person, we have every right to say that they get wackier or more crazy when not on meds! Sorry but if you were child who was woken up in the middle of the night with a gun or knife pointed at you throughout your childhood because of this "mental illness"! Only few can thoughly understand while others get into being political correct in wording! I call as it is !

I'm going to argue this. You don't "have a right" to call anyone something derogatory simply because you had a life experience. It's like saying just because you know someone who is gay you can call them a f*ggot. Or because you know someone African American you get to call them n*gger.

If it's categorised as derogatory by the people you are saying it about, then that's what it is.

It's not being PC, it's being sensitive to how someone else feels. Mental illness and coming forward about it is still a massive battle and that language doesn't help sufferers.

I wrote a post a few pages about this when the discussion about mental illness stigmatism was quite lively. I too, know someone who suffers darkly and despairingly from a mental illness and has done for 40 years. And I know how those words make him feel.

So back to Amanda, hopefully this new conservator will be a good mediator for both parties! I hope that they can get Amanda the help she needs and save some money for her so she does not become homeless and broke!

Please feel free to ignore me because I clearly am in disagreement with you! Also I said the behavior gets wackier and crazier without medication! That is not derogatory!

I understand trust me. Unless someone has lived it, they will never get it. My youth and health has disappeared thanks to caring for my mom. It's crazy what caregivers have to go through that's why I feel for Amanda's parents so much. And they're older too. Anyway, small advice when it comes to forums, if someone's comments annoys you, just add them on the "ignore" list. Don't waste precious time fighting back and fourth. Lesson learned for myself :shrugs:

I wonder how Amanda will react to the new conservator. If she grasps that this is what she must do in order to live independently, then it could work out very well. However, if she is resentful of anyone controlling how she is spending her money and constantly checking up on her to make sure she's taking medications and visiting her doctors, it could go very badly. She's made it clear she wants to be left alone. That's not going to happen with a conservator, no matter who it is.

I agree. I wonder that too. For the moment, with all the Tweets etc and the tirade against her father, I'm thinking it may subside. But I guess it remains to be seen - she may not get as much freedom as she thinks depending on the specifics.

Amanda Bynes crashes on a shopping mall couch while her defeated parents prepare to leave town and give up conservatorship... as she spews more hate for them on Twitter

Amanda Bynes found a soft place to rest amid the turmoil with her parents - a shopping mall couch.

The troubled 28-year-old starlet was pictured reclining and apparently asleep on a turquoise, modern-looking loveseat at The Beverly Center in Los Angeles on Thursday.

According to TMZ, Amanda was staying with friends last week but has been wandering the streets of West Hollywood with nowhere to go and no money for a hotel room.

Amanda appeared to be 'out like a light' while bundled up in a black sweat shirt over a black T-shirt and red track trousers along with comfy slip-on shoes.

I legit feel so bad for her. I know 2 people who are bipolar and luckily they are both doing well but i really hope Amanda gets to be in a better place soon. She seemed to be doing well until lately, i wonder what happened.
 
#1,976
I agree she was looking and acting so healthy then she went coo coo again . I really hope she gets better and feel happy again . Depression is no joke if you can't overcome it .
 
#1,977
Sorry but "coo coo" and "wacko" is offensive to some of us, like the word "retard" I have 2 mentally ill family members plus other loved ones and those words hurt my heart. Sorry, but it's my opinion. Can people just be sensitive that the words they choose about this could hurt others even if they think the words are completely ok and not offensive at all?
Would it hurt to be sensitive about this? This isn't talking about Kim K's giant caboose.
It doesn't break our rules so if you'd rather say whatever you want without regards of others that's fine. . . . just asking.
 
#1,978
Well sorry you took that in that way . However if she was more than having depression I would not have used "coo coo" I have had depression all my life and not went off the map that hard . Coo coo is not the same as retard in any case . This is a free will forum and if people did not wanna read or talk about current events or thoughts there would not be topics on these celebrities . We all have our opinions and not everything is going to please everyone . So again sorry you took coo coo to offense . I said " depression is no joke if you can't overcome it" . It's true ... I been there .

In that's the case, a more extreme measure would have to take place. She's going to need someone around her 24/7 for a while. She can't be left alone. If she gets worst and refuses help from anyone, the worst scenario will be her staying at a mental institution. :nogood:
 
#1,980
Ok she will become more Mentally unstable as time passes and hopefully she will not hurt anyone or herself! She already started a fire and did something with a dog! Her parents are older and probably don't and cannot handle the stress at their age! I believe Amanda is clearly angry because she wants her money to blow through! There must be a reason her siblings don't want to deal with all this drama!
