In post #17 you said things that sound like the direction you need to go. You have a physical condition that seems like it could be leading/adding to some of the frustration that seems to cause the anger, but it seems like there may be more to it than that; your college/university should have a way to work therapy or counseling into your schedule of classes. You probably are familiar with this but just in case here's the link. About Dyspraxia

I don't know the difference between college and university in the UK, here in the US the universities and colleges are mostly all in the middle of spring semester and if someone's going to start school, it's probably going to be fall semester. Nobody can wave a magic wand and make fall semester start now. Or make anything happen immediately; counseling might help you take it a step at a time. (I'm curious what you're going to school for, what you're majoring in; I just wonder where you see yourself in the next few years or on down the road.)

Comparing yourself to your step siblings isn't helping any. Neither is your work attitude. If you don't get the anger under control I don't see how you'd have a girlfriend (because who would want to put up with the anger?), or how you'd get and keep a good job, etc. What's wrong with working at MickeyD's for a summer job? (Look up celebrities that once worked at McDonald's!) Or if that's not for you, check with your school's dept. that handles student employment.

I've bought plenty of used camera equipment, I don't see what's wrong with that. But if you want a new camera, get the anger manageable so you can get and keep a summer job and work toward buying yourself a new camera. If you buy it yourself maybe you won't bash the hell out of it. Find better ways to work out the frustration and anger instead of taking it out on your photography equipment. I hope you can work through all this and get your life on a more positive track.
 
Thank you that is a very kind and helpful post
 
You're welcome. Take care.
 
Well feeling alot better today. Saw the gp this morning before college and back on medication and shorted out some therapy and anger management

im trying to find a canon compact camera that is cheap less then 30 pound
 
Cant believe how stupid i was earlier this week. I do miss the old camera i had i really do. I have just tried to switch it on and it won't even do that now. If I felt like i did now i would never have done it :blueface:
 
Canon PowerShot G3 or thereabouts...shoots RAW or JPEG,manual control, hot shoe,zoom, I bought one used in 2012 or 2013, for $8 at a thrift shop...
 
What and where is Argos? In the UK it looks like? Maybe someone who lives there could suggest where to find a camera with the megapixels and optical zoom you're looking for.

*3 different people point you to where you can find a decent 30 pound camera

No i need one like this (link to a camera that costs 100 pounds)

I don't mean this as an insult, but it seems like you're living in a different world than the rest of us. You only hear what you want to hear and deny the rest. You've destroyed several cameras but you claim they bring you happiness. Why would you destroy something that brings you happiness? I have a friend who is kind of like you. He sabotages himself to gain ever-increasing amounts of sympathy. I don't know if sympathy is your motivation but it's definitely a possibility. That only works for so long before people see it as a ruse.

You need therapy. I know tough love doesn't work on the mentally ill and I'm very sympathetic to people who are mentally ill but I think your situation comes down to this: Buy a camera for 30 pounds and simply don't destroy it. Keep it for months or years and take lots of great pics with it. If you can't be successful at that, then you REALLY need therapy.

Good luck
 
The camera's that were £30 pound were not good enough. Sorry but they don't look good at all. I want a nice camera like the one in the link. I am having therapy as well and getting betting for it so i want to restart my life again
