I'm confused. Help me

"All of those things you know you need. Give them to yourself"-someone

I'm contemplating whether I should use my low budget to try therapy for a month or buy a camera and do something I love that will give me a little joy. Of course I will go to therapy one day though, just not now. What do you people think I should do? 😞

Get the camera! Passion in life it’s what keeps us going… And please share your photos! 🤗

Thanks. My photos are generally focused on random things and places not actual portraits but I'm gonna start working on portraits some other time. I just shared one photo on a new post if you want to see it.😁😁

I love it! Nature is amazing. I have a very cool photograph I took randomly years ago but I can’t seem to figure out how to upload it here

Go to 'what's on your mind'. Put add photo then documents and then you can choose from your gallery. I would love to see your photos if you would like😊

Hmmmmm...Tech challenged person here… I’ll try to figure that out! I think I just recently realized how to not post everything twice LOL

Ok. I'll try to explain a little better. On the top bar their is a little house you click on. On the top of that page, it says 'what's on your mind'. Click that and scroll down a bit to where it says add photo. Click on it then on documents and then on gallery to choose. You can also write a post at the top of that page. I hope it's explained a little better now🤗

Looking forward to it! I love photography… Finding your destiny and purpose and passion in life in many cases ..Not all but very often can we replace the need for therapy… And let’s be honest finding the right therapist and treatment is hard and isn’t always successful… However when you have something to look forward to and a passion… Worth every penny 🍪I’m in to the cookie thing now I don’t know I just don’t know anybody who doesn’t like cookies

i think you should get a camera and let your happy outings with it in your hands be your therapy! plus there are loads of easy to follow self help therapy books you could read from Amazon .or make use of the free therapy you often see on you tube which answers the problems most frequently asked by the general public .I would not part withmoney for the same typeof therapy that you can find on internet .Also watch Oprah on utube ,she oftenhas therapistson totalk about the most frequentl BIG problems peoplehave like ...fearsof abandonment , or not feeling loved ,how to get past the painof childhoodabuse ,neglect ,violence ,or just plain old heart ache of a broken marriage / relationship,and the problems of low self esteem and self love .All these ive seen at one time or the other on Oprahor u tube .Im trying to get over losing the love of my life who ive lovedfor forty years who just cant take anymore of my severe ME and multiple other longterm illnesses .I cant talk to anyone about it yet as i break down the moment i try to address it .But in my own time i know that i will go the self help route .No ome knows you more than yourself! So get your camera and enjoy the outside world.Im bedbound years ow and i should love to go outsideand walk around park! Good luck

Thank you. Best wishes🌠

Camera. Go to the library and take out a self help book where you do exercises. Two birds one stone !!

Hi Lunazay,

You have a great camera in your Galaxy S5, why buy another? I love my S7 camera and have taken 1000s of pix, great, awesome pix, with it. I have no intention of changing cameras. It's so easy and convenient to use my phone camera and not drag along some other camera in addition to carrying a phone. In fact, I have several cameras besides the S7 and I choose the S7 every time. Fantastic pix!! Maybe I have a camera you'd like? I'll give it to you if so. Pm me and we can talk.

Hugs, Love, and Blessings...🤩🌈🌎🎼🏝🧚🏼‍♀️🙏🌺👍❤️🔆♥︎🎶🎏💜

Thank you. The funny thing is I just ordered the camera yesterday and it's gonna come in the mail. I just bought the t5i. What type do you have🤗

BonnieSue in reply toLunazay

For one: the old standby, the Canon T70 with zoom lens and all the trappings, but I haven't used it in years. Then a couple Samsung WB150Fs: great little camera, 18x zoom plus wifi. Great pix, but nothing beats the 2 cameras in the Galaxy S7 Edge that I use. You can check out any of my posts to see the pix it takes! And it's always with me!

What's the t5i have that you like?

Lunazay in reply toBonnieSue

It didn't come in the mail yet but it is kinda good for film and it's cheaper than others. I also searched the quality and it looked good

There's nothing more important than your health mental or other wise.

You want stability and clear mind, you can't enjoy a camera unless you address the thing keeping you from making a good decision, therapy comes first, if you feel good you'll enjoy the camera otherwise you'll be confused about life and the camera will sit in the drawer.

Not what you're looking for?
