“Heartbreak adrenaline” might remind you of the stories about mothers who suddenly, miraculously, summon the strength to free trapped children from under cars and trucks

Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto Last year I went through a breakup, and it sucked. He moved out of the apartment we’d been sharing — out of state, actually, sort of abruptly. It was good, though: It was for a good reason and a good opportunity. Blah, blah. It left me alone in the apartment, which was also good, in some ways, but which also sucked, in others. I could’ve stayed there — it was a nice place — but the lease was almost up, and I kind of wanted a clean start and a smaller home.

In any case, I thought you could make an online appointment with the oversize-trash truck any old day, and that they’d come pick your stuff up the next morning, so I put off doing it until what I thought was a day that gave me a lot of leeway, but in reality the truck comes only once a week, and by the time I was making the appointment, it turned out that if I didn’t get the couch out before dawn the next day — and, ideally, within the actual hour that I’d made the appointment — I’d miss my...

I’m going to get this done, I thought, or something like that, and the next few minutes were a blur. I tried the front hallway again, thinking I might somehow boost the couch up over the stairs on my back. By sheer luck, this time I scooted it out facing the opposite direction, which bought me a couple more inches, and it just! Barely! Fit! OUT OF THE BUILDING.

Oh, HELL YES, I thought. That’s exactly what is is. Hearing these words was its own kind of secondary rush. The idea of “heartbreak adrenaline” reminded me of the stories I’d heard about mothers who’d suddenly, miraculously, summoned the strength to free trapped children from under cars and trucks. It hadn’t been that, exactly, but it wasn’t nothing.
