Amanda Bynes returns to college after dealing with social anxiety: ‘Back on track’

1

Amanda Bynes is pursuing a bachelor’s degree again after undergoing treatment for her social anxiety, which caused her to drop her studies before.

The actress is currently enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in California, United States, as per her Instagram post yesterday, May 24.

Bynes has also turned to online learning like many students while campuses remain closed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“Taking online classes, trying to get a 4.0 [grade point average],” she said.

Along with her college degree, the actress also has her eyes set on putting up an online store “in the future.” She then disclosed that she has been undergoing treatment for the past two months to deal with her mental health.

“Worked on coping skills to help with my social anxiety that caused me to drop out of school months ago,” Bynes explained before stating that she is “[b]ack on track and doing well!”

“I’m now living in transitional living and doing therapy during the week,” she added.

Bynes also assured her fans that she is still engaged to her fiance Paul Michael. The couple announced their engagement last February.

A month after, Bynes said she was expecting a baby with Michael alongside a now-deleted post of a sonogram. Meanwhile, her lawyer David Esquibias told E! News earlier this month that the actress was not pregnant. Ryan Arcadio/JB
