  I cant install a new theme, I dont have an “Add new” button. I bought an account for 99$ and a theme for 45$ (here http://healthwpthemes.com/theme/botanica-wordpress-health-theme/ ). So how am I to solve the problem? Thank you!

  Themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org. You can find out more about customizing your blog’s appearance here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  If the theme you purchased is crucial to your site plans, you will need to look into setting up a self-hosted site using the free software available on WordPress.org. There is more information on the differences between .com and .org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
