I Cannot Imagine how hard it must be to have undergo public scrutiny after a psychiatric hospitalization. Mischa Barton seems to be feeling the pressure. She told the UK version of OK! magazine that she's "sick of people thinking she's 'unstable.'"

"One stay in the hospital was turned into this huge 'She's lost her marbles' thing, and people look at me like I'm unstable and they should probably cross the street when they see me."

But Mischa says she has now completely recovered and is happy to be back on her feet.

She added: "I just had a bad time of year, and now it's all over and done with. I'm just very happy to be feeling happy again and back on top of it and not so worried about everything. It was just too much to handle for me at the time."

This can only be adding to Mischa's stress, especially since 'The Beautiful Life' didn't have the greatest ratings for its debut. Hopefully Mischa will be able to demonstrate her stability through her actions.
