“I need to get an apartment and my parents won’t give me access to any of my funds,” she Tweeted.

Bynes, who turned 28 in April, was diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar following an involuntary psychiatric commitment last year. She was released from her parents’ conservatorship in early September.

Friends said she was holed up in her apartment smoking pot almost non-stop, which can aggravate her condition.

She was lured back to California and immediately placed under a 5150 psychiatric hold, under a California law that allows adults to be hospitalized against their will if they prove to be a danger to themselves or others.
Bynes was initially diagnosed as a schizophrenic. TheImproper, citing medical references, reported Oct. 6 that she can be totally “normal” one moment and then start acting strangely the next.
So it’s impossible to tell if she’s being sincere, or saying what the court needs to her to win back her freedom. Be sure to follow IM on Twitter for the latest updates.
