My special interest/enjoyment is buses

Special interests help an awful lot with depression. Doing things what you enjoy and makes you happy is good for anyone who suffer with depression, so it is especially ideal for Aspies who suffer with depression. My special interest/enjoyment is buses, and I know it may sound crazy, but I really want to work somewhere where I need to get a bus to. I like getting buses, so it might motivate me more to come to work. I am familiar with a lot of the drivers and most of them are friendly, and I like seeing which driver will be driving it today and sometimes I have a little chat with them before I get off. To other people that sounds daft, but to me it's what I like. The job I'm in now is local, which is good, but I want to get a bus to a job. I'm sorry, I just do. It's the only thing that might help with my depression, without having to go on meds.

Joe 90, you don't have to apologize for liking buses. Someone else in this thread also does. We all have our quirks, whatever works.

I ride around from buxton norfolk to norwich to sheringham to cromer, to fakenham to hunstanton to north walsham etc.

I didn't know Norfolk had a Buxton.

But then - it was years before I realised you had a Kings Lynn.

And yes, there is a Kings Lynn but I have not been there yet

There's a good compilation of scenes on youtube. *giggle*

I have. Not as nice as the real Kings Lynn but it's OK...

I have seen

Dino shark
Jaws 1 to 4
Shark attack 1 to 3
Sharktopus
mega shark in malibu
Deep blue sea
Shark night
Shark week

Jaws and Deep Blue Sea are excellent.

You considered branching out into crocs with eg Lake Placid?

Where is the real kings lynn?

The two people who like riding buses: I don't know where either one of you lives, but maybe you want to get together and ride buses together? Then you will have some company - each other. Just a thought.....

Loneliness can cause depression. It has for me. And yes, depression can be a mental illness. My depression comes in bouts, and last week I had a terrible attack of depression. Nothing in particular started it off, it just came upon me and I began feeling worthless and even suicidal, and I just wanted to quit work and lie in bed getting myself lost in films all day every day, and maybe going out and socialising whenever I feel like it. But I knew that if I did that, I would just be letting myself down.

Depression is making me not want to go to work, though. I am not being lazy. I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of having to be somewhere, and being told when to eat and so on. I'd sooner do voluntary work, even 5 or 6 days of the week, but I can't because I need to earn money, so I am trying my hardest to stick at my job, until I can find another job what I really want to do.
