Amanda Bynes Might Be Crazy In A For Real Way

Amanda Bynes' neighbors are collectively throwing an army of side-eyes at the media for painting her as nothing but a spoiled dumb stoner, because they think she has serious mental problems. Like "5150 this ho and get Daddy Spears to make her some Velveeta grits" kind of mental problems.

One of Amanda's neighbors tells TMZ that he once watched her have a serious conversation with an inanimate object and other neighbors have seen her talking to no one. They haven't told the authorities or her family or anything, because they don't want to get involved. Besides, when you go to the authorities and tell them Amanda is acting crazy, they won't give you a money order made out to cash, so it's better just to go to TMZ.

Some people who work out next to Amanda at the Equinox in West Hollywood also say that she regularly brings the crazy. Amanda always looks dazed, has conversations with herself, laughs for no reason and they say she's getting worse and worse.

Yes, Amanda could be in need of a 5150, but it could also be nothing. If you asked my neighbors about me, they'd probably say that I'm crazy with invisible friends and I regularly talk to myself in the hallways and the only visits I get are from the Fresh Direct delivery people and some dude with a bulging backpack that smells like Irish Spring and cheap cologne (that's my weed man). I mean, I talk to myself all the time. I know all of my posts read like I just barfed out the words in 10 seconds, but sometimes I put some serious thought into this shit. Finding different ways to describe the journey of a fart is hard work. So sometimes when I'm walking my dog, I'll write the post in my head and then say it out loud to myself. I'm sure many people who have witnessed me talking to myself have called Bellevue to tell them that one of their patients escaped to Brooklyn. "You better come quick and you better bring a tranquilizer gun, because it looks like he's taken a little black dog hostage" is what they say to the operator at Bellevue.

What I'm saying is that Amanda and I should share a room at Bellevue, because we're both fucking nuts.

Or this could really, really be nothing. Maybe Amanda's just talking into her Bluetooth headset? Because talking into a Bluetooth headset makes everyone look like a schizophrenic.

Thanks, Islandgirl. You have made me cry, you have no idea how much those simple words mean to me.

So srry about your friend. That is very sad, but suicide is very high among schizophrenics. What an awful thing to experience.

Nothing funny about mental illness (unless perhaps the afflicted is a clown).

One of my best friends in prep school developed schizophrenia when he went off to college. Really one of the most intelligent people I've ever known. The really sad thing was that he was fully aware that he was losing his mind. His parents gave him all the support they could, and the best treatment money could buy, but he killed himself about three years after being diagnosed.
-------------------------------------------------

Absolutely awful. I read that schizophrenia develops mainly in people that are in their 20s. Amanda is 26.

As rick james said, 'cocaine is a helluva drug'. Until she has a few months of sobriety and gets psych eval, it is impossible to know where the crazy behavior comes from.

Having said that, lots of mentally ill people self-medicate.

Also, talking to yourself does not mean you're schizophrenic. Schizophrenia is characterized by disorganized and bizarre thought patterns. Yes, schizophrenics hear voices in their heads. Or they 'see' things. Most schizophrenics are extremely bright, almost genius level people. I think their brains just function at a higher or different frequency than the rest of us.

You know the joke about people who think that the government has p,anted stuff in their head or that their fillings are communications devices? That's sort of schizophrenic. It can be a little more complex than that, though. sorry to harp on this subject, but there's a lot of misinformation and fear that keeps people from getting help.

I can link a bunch, but to me the details don't matter. I'm pretty satisfied that Hollywood used and abused her, and she's a basket case now.

agreed, Hekki. this does not read to me as the product of multigenerational inherited crazy like lohan and spears and cyrus. this seems like an intact person who had a mental breakdown that was triggered by identifiable series of HUGE traumas. and i have seen all of the history and rumors that you cite. i think she's nuts, but more nuts than she realizes because her nuttery led her to plan this whole thing out in advance. that is true nuttery there.

Remember that blind from now over a month ago, it said that, to revive her failing career, a former near A list teen star planned a purposeful campaign of public Lohanism that was going to culminate in an out-Britney Britney mental breakdown. which she thought would bring more empathy from the fanbase than going to rehab. IMO it's her it's her it's her, this is still part of her original plan

next up? the public explosion of faked mental breakdown

@ Hekki, Thanks for the scoop.
Wow, I didn't realize that. She looks So Very Normal, dorky, almost.
And she was funny and somewhat intelligent.
This makes me sad.
But I 100% believe it. Hollywood is creepy.
I try to stay away.
I have me a date with Google about this shit

My daughter is schizophrenic and bi-polar and it is truly not a laughing matter. I am at my wit's end with her right now. When she's doing good, she's an awesome person, but when she spirals down, it's the worst. I do not wish schizophrenia on anyone. I really, sincerely hope and pray Amanda is not schizophrenic or bi-polar. Where are her parents? It is hard to deal with an adult that is mentally ill. A 5150 only puts them in the hospital for a few days. To get someone committed to long care services is a long, tough road. They need to confiscate her car and she needs a conservator like Britney.

jeez. That sucks. I hope she gets help.

Still, though....take away her GD car!

I hate Bluetooths. My boss will come out of his office and say something and I'll say, "Wot?" and turns out he'll be on his damn 'tooth.

On topic, I think she has some emotional issues and this is going to result in her killing or at least maiming someone if she doesn't get help fast.

Bird: There are lots of rumors about her. Fucked up stuff.

That she's one of Dan Schneider's victims and he forced her to have an abortion. That she likes to have multiple male sex partners. That she has an extensive collection of self-made porn. That she's one of the girls in Diana Jenkins' stable of call girls.

Maybe it's my own bias, but I think those Bluetooth headpieces have peaked and people use them much less today because talking into one while shopping or on a metro did make you look schizo.

I don't understand why there isn't a cop in her 'hood stationed by her place waiting till she walks out and drives, since she's been doing it everyday and photographed while being high too. Maybe they're waiting on that fatal accident?

LOL @ "Besides, when you go to the authorities and tell them Amanda is acting crazy, they won't give you a money order made out to cash, so it's better just to go to TMZ."

She needs another acting gig or a hobby. As someone said (Mani?), it's not good to be idle all the time. It's worse to be young, wealthy, and idle.

CA is a state where, due to some warped constitutional bullshit, the police have to announce in advance where and when they're setting up a DUI checkpoint. (Which therefore tends to nab only those too dumb or drunk to check the media.) That makes me doubt that the police take Amanda as a serious threat to safety.

Mental illness will usually present itself when one is in their 20s if they're going to get it. That's what happened to Britney. I actually feel sorry for her if that's the case.

If she is truly mentally ill, I hope she gets therapy/medication. Before all the hit-and-runs she seemed like a likable actress.
