I find it odd that both Amanda and the media keep talking about how she has no place to stay and no money, and yet she is in different clothes every day. Not saying she is buying them, just saying she must have access to her stuff somehow. She's not dirty looking so she must be bathing somewhere. Hell she looks cleaner than Lindsey Lohan most days. Such a strange situation.

Amanda Bynes shows off her svelte figure in a gray tank top, skinny jeans, and a loose sweater while out and about on Saturday afternoon (November 8) in Studio City, Calif.

The 28-year-old actress grabbed lunch alone at the celebrity hotspot Lemonade and carried around a brown paper American Apparel bag.

In case you missed it, check out the first picture Amanda posted of her brand new purple hair.

If she can stay on her meds I think she may have a good fighting chance to get her life back together. Maybe breaking from her parents will be good for her. Hope so!
 
Well she has seemed a little calmer in the past couple of days. She acknowledged on twitter that she knows she has to take her meds and comply with the court to get her money back.

I guess I am wishful thinking. She could be on TMZ tomorrow all out of sorts again.
I just hope nothing bad happens to her.
 
Sadly this is the reality for a lot of schizophrenia sufferers. They get stable on their meds, feel good for a while and then either come off them because they think they don't need them anymore or something happens such as a trauma and their delusions will become 'stronger' than the meds and will convince them to stop taking them.

It takes a lot of monitoring by others and a very strong therapeutic plan with the sufferer to keep them on their meds.

I think schizophrenia is one of the very few psychiatric disorders that needs medication for life.
 
Exactly. Someone who is severely mentally ill will never realize that they need help. That's the reason they're mentally ill in the first place, they're not in their "right" mind to make those kind of rational decisions. That goes to show you that her parents still don't understand her illness.

Actually, I think you are wrong, partly. It depends on the illness. A psychotic illness such as schizophrenia, then yes, you're right, it is difficult for the sufferer to realise they need help, although when they have moments of lucidity they absolutely know they are ill and need help. It's often difficult for them to access help in these times though because of stigma or the short periods of lucidity.

As for depression, OCD, anxiety etc, for sure you can hit rockbottom without a doubt.

Oh yes that's what i meant, a psychotic illness.
 
I am relieved it appears she is beginning to get back on track. She understands she has to take her meds and visit her doctors in order to end the conservatorship.

Her latest posts sounds a bit more coherent, though still unusual. Why she thinks anyone would want to hear her views on Nazi Germany is anyone's guess.

Amanda Bynes' latest Twitter ramblings are focused on a very sensitive topic: Adolf Hitler.

The troubled star took to social media on Monday to share her thoughts on the late genocidal dictator and Nazi Germany. "Adolf Hilter tricked the germans into believing that jews were less than the germans and that they should be segregated and then killed," Bynes wrote, followed by, "But germans who feel that Adolf Hilter was incorrect aren't guilty in my book."

While Bynes' tweets aren't totally out of bounds, they are surely bound to turn some heads.

In addition to tweeting about the controversial topic of Nazi Germany, Bynes shared other random thoughts this morning. "If you have to force someone to do anything - you are in the wrong," she wrote, adding, "Forcing someone to like you when it is obvious they don't like you is considered unattractive in my mind."

"Feel my pain," she continued. "If you don't like someone regardless of who they are you have every right to be rude to Them...I'm so rude."

"I only follow ppl I find beautiful," she continued. "It goes against my religion to follow an ugly person...That's why I feel pretty."

Bynes' latest tweets come just a few days after she was released from a psychiatric hold at a Pasadena, Calif. hospital. Since she left treatment, Bynes has been spotted out and about in L.A. She was also caught sleeping at the Beverly Center mall in L.A. in addition to recently dying her hair purple.

Bynes also opened up about her current health condition on Twitter. "I was diagnosed bi - polar and manic depressive so I'm on medication and I'm seeing my psychologist and pyshchiatrist weekly so I'm fine :D," she tweeted last week. "I'm not living with my parents. I'm not legally obligated to. My lawyer said if I comply with the courts and take my meds and see my psychologist and pyshchiatrist weekly then I will get unconserved. Thank GOD."
