Around this time last year, Amanda Bynes had quite the meltdown. And by "meltdown," we mean she threatened to kill her father and leave his body in a ditch on Twitter.

After that, the troubled former child star understandably took some time away from the spotlight, but lately Amanda has been out and about in LA, and last night, she posted a photo of herself looking better than ever:

We don’t blame you if you didn’t recognize her.

Not only has Amanda been looking better than ever lately, she’s stopped wearing her gigantic dark-tinted sunglasses at all times.

During her rough patch in 2014, Amanda wore the glasses at all times. She wore them indoors, at night – she was even spotted driving with them at night, which is particularly troubling if you know about Amanda’s driving record.

So it’s a relief to see the girl looking sane, sober, happy and healthy.

We wish her all the best, but we hope she’s not rushing back into the limelight.

The exact nature of Amanda’s condition is unknown but she has a history of rebounding, only to fall back into the same habits that got her in trouble in the first place.

Here’s hoping Amanda is getting the help she needs and is poised to make a comeback.
