\begin{ally}
Where did you go?
\end{ally}
I was still here.
\begin{ally}
Were you?
\end{ally}
I was still at my computer. Still writing. I was still here?\index{Mental health!bipolar!depression}
\begin{ally}
You'll have to forgive me for saying that I don't quite believe you.
\end{ally}
Why wouldn't you? You're here with me, aren't you?
\begin{ally}
Was I? It was like looking through cling wrap. It was like looking through melted glass.
\end{ally}
What do you mean?
\begin{ally}
Well, you were there. I could see you at your computer. You were there, but it wasn't \textbf{you}. There was a Madison-shape sitting with a laptop on the couch, petting the dogs, feeding the cat, listening to music, but it wasn't you.
\end{ally}
I was busy, perhaps. \emph{Restless Town} came out, that stole a lot of my time.
\begin{ally}
When was the last time you filed an invoice at work?
\end{ally}
Two\ldots{}weeks ago. I think? Damn. Was I really gone that long?
\begin{ally}
Longer. Do you remember what you did the week before that?
\end{ally}
Worked, doubtless.
\begin{ally}
Did you? Have you talked with work about that?
\end{ally}
Ah.
\begin{ally}
Let's talk about burnout, shall we?
\end{ally}
We probably better had.
