There have been less talented, less pretty celebs that have made a return to the limelight. LNC should be popping up soonI hope.

If this were a better world, Lisa would make a triumphant comeback. But in this cruel world that has given Lisa a serious mental illness - it is probably unrealistic to think that Lisa could return to showbusiness on any level, let alone the prolific level where she was previously.
I would say that Lisa is in a similar situation as Kristy McNichol (sp.) - the very talented '70s and '80s actress who eventually had to leave the business altogether because of her bipolar disorder. Kristy tried to work with her bipolar illness for awhile, and enjoyed a nice "comeback" with the sitcom "Empty Nest" - but she had to leave the show during its run because her illness really flared up under the stress. Since then, Kristy has been living a simple, low-profile life - which enables her to manage her illness better.
I think we just have to accept that these people are never coming back - and that the talent that the111cy previously shared with the world can no longer be used. It's a stark, sad reality.
Maybe my point-of-view comes from my own experience. I was in my third year of a well-regarded university - on my way to a civil engineering career - when the disease of major depression started taking its course. I went to a psychiatrist - was put on medication - and struggled through another year-and-a-half of college before I just couldn't do it anymorethe illness had reached a point that necessitated my leaving college and giving up my career ambitions. Since then, the illness (in addition to major depression - I have crippling anxiety - and I may even be on the schizophrenia spectrum) has seemed to take its course. I've deteriorated - I'm certainly not the person I was before I developed this full-blown illness. For years, it was at least in the back of my mind that I would "get better" and get back on the path that I was onbut that hasn't happened. It seems that, at this point - I have to accept the fact that - even if I get "better" - that I would still not be on the level that I was. Even "mere" depression and anxiety can take a tremendous toll on the mind. -

For what it's worth, you seem to have a more realistic viewpoint than some people I've seen suffering from depression and anxiety. You also seem to speak very well without rambling all over the place. I hope you can find some better help and can realize your dream. Good luck!
