Do you get upset when:
You can't find or get time to indulge in your interest?
You are pulled away from your interest when you don't want to be?
You are interrupted whilst indulging your interest?
etc

I'm obsessed with a bus company (NOT First!), and I'm currently unemployed but I'm panicking if I get a job which meant I couldn't get any of their buses so much.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Which makes having a family a bit stressful. |

My current job REALLY cuts into my special interest time, and my job is an entry-level position, NOT what my background is in. I hope to transfer to a job in my true field of knowledge when I've worked a year in my current job. Now, I rush around from one thing to the next all day long, which is bad for me, because I'm terrible at switching between tasks. If I don't get at least SOME special interest time each day, my mood becomes super irritable and snappy. It's a lot better than it was when I started the job, but I still miss out on special interest time that I need to function and be happy.

Knowing I'll have to do something else instead of the activity that I want to do, I have a hard time looking forward to the disruption. Once it starts and I'm involved in something else, I learn to not give into being upset and get worked up but enjoy the distraction. Of course, doesn't work if there's nothing good coming out of it... but there's nothing to gain out of only very few things as far as I'm concerned.
Of course, I still would much rather do what I want to do (I usually protest rudely/loudly beforehand to regulate my level of annoyance) but I'll make sure I'm having a good time until then anyway. No point feeling miserable or getting worked up for the next few minutes or hours when I can have an okay, good or brilliant time instead.
My brain functions so... non-emotional at times, huh. If it didn't, I'm sure it would be way harder to avoid getting seriously upset in the first place.

Yes to all three. I don't need to explain it any further.
