I thought I'd post my moving plan here well in advance of things, in case anyone is interested in showing up to help, or provide moral support in the form of cooling beverages or delicious snacks.

The date of the move is Tuesday, May 31st. Because the only time I was able to secure a moving truck rental was 2PM, things will be beginning early. Let's say 3PM is the official start time, and I plan on working until it's finished, hopefully before the 9PM deadline when I need to return the truck. I know that some of you will be unavailable during the day, but any time you can come is very much appreciated. If you could let me know when you expect to show up, that could be useful for planning. Like, I can plan on moving the heavy furniture pieces when I'm looking to have the most people present.
 
We will be moving the furniture contents of a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a small mountain of boxes. My goal is to have everything ready to be picked up by you lovely folks and placed directly onto the truck or the appropriate car, so hopefully there will be minimal need for you to help with packing or anything like that. I may need some minor help with furniture disassembly, though, and I may assign people to some light cleaning tasks if no one minds.
 
I will be providing dinner in the form of some kind of takeout on the day of, and then everyone who shows up to help is then invited to a real, home-cooked "Thank You for Hauling My Stuff Around" dinner at my new place (Illyria, 51 Morton Street, Waltham) at 7PM on Saturday, June 4th.
 
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. And please let me know when you think you might be coming so I can make a plan. (I do so love making plans.) If things have changed for you and you don't think you can make it, no worries, I appreciate the thought anyway.
 
Thanks so much, everyone. Your help is very much appreciated, and I will repay you with deliciousness the weekend after.

So after about a month of a consistently even emotional state, I have determined that I've emerged from the bad period I was stuck in for a good long while. I am glad about that, as I was getting to a very bad place. What brought me out of it was the month of April being jam-packed with positive activities to take my focus off myself and my sadness and leave me no time to dwell on it. It's true that things that take you outside of yourself and change your negative thought patterns are a good way to pull you out of depression. That's how it worked for me.

The one thing that's troubling me is this. The stuff that was bringing me down still exists. Those problems have not since gone away. And it occurs to me that the reason they are not still bringing me down is... I'm not thinking about them. Just... have kind of forgotten about them for the moment. And this bothers me because, while I'm grateful to not be so down, I feel like denial is ultimately going to make things worse. It means I'm not changing them, not working on making them better. What if I get into the habit of just ignoring them because it's the only way I avoid being depressed and then they never get dealt with?

I guess I will have to be careful. God knows nothing I tried to do to fix things was working, so maybe it's beyond my power, at least for now. As long as I resolve not to let them go unattended forever, maybe it's okay if I forget them for the time being to rebuild some of my strength reserves. Maybe for the time being, it's the best I can hope for.
