I don't understand myself even though I am also a person with BP. Currently many News stories with photos show Amanda Bynes laying on a bench in some huge Mall in L.A. I think it is. The story in AOL News does not show her on that bench, but instead talks about how sadly she is doing right now, and how many people do not understand mental illness including BP. The article, if you have not seen it, tells about all of it in general terms. The people who have mental illness; the people who see those with mental illness; what BP is; and the fact most people have no clue. Also how it effects people with mental illness looking for a job. So many people, including her parents, have done so much to try and get her help, and yet she is sleeping on some mall bench. Is this coming to an end soon? Will she pull though? Will she ever accept help, and not running off before receiving help offered to her? She has taken a huge fall, so what is in her future now? I think she is walking the thin line with one side perhaps deadly. Maybe she is at the bottom, and she takes the only way which would be up, or not.
