Amanda Bynes is still in rehab and is on the road to recovery

Amanda Bynes was able to attend her own graduation from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) after being granted a day pass. Earlier this week, she posted a celebratory photo on her official Twitter account. See the post below:

According to a source from PEOPLE, the actress is still on her way to recovery in rehab. Bynes checked in to the facility in January this year. The move comes after she experienced a setback when she stepped back into the limelight.

The star was meant to make a Hollywood come back after gracing the cover of Paper Magazineā€™s November 2018 issue. But the pressure was reportedly too much for Bynes to handle and she began spiraling down into drug addiction.

The source told PEOPLE:

ā€œAmanda is still inpatient in a mental health facility. She was able to get an outing pass for a few hours for the special occasion so she could walk with the other students. But she left a little early and was back at the facility at the end of the graduation.ā€

Late last year, Bynesā€™ attorney Tamar Arminak spoke to people saying:

ā€œAmanda is doing great, working on herself, and taking some well-deserved time off to focus on her well-being after graduating FIDM in December.ā€

ā€œSheā€™s spending time reading and exercising, sketching for her new line and mostly making sure this time around she puts her needs first,ā€ the attorney added.
