Amanda — who starred in the TV series "All That" and "What I Like About You" — is also down over her stalled career, sources said. "She hasn't been able to get an acting job, let alone a meeting with a producer or director, which has increased her anxiety."

In June, she was granted control of her finances by the court, but sources claimed that may have been premature. "Her family is worried because her spending has gone through the roof," revealed the insider. "She's paranoid that people are spying on her, and she's taken to wearing wigs and other disguises even when she's at home! The fear is that she's having another mental breakdown."
