He attended the mandatory team-building event. He laughed at the right jokes, complimented the catering, and performed the required enthusiasm. He was physically present, a warm body in the room, but his mind felt miles away, watching the scene detachedly.

He realized he was mastering a new form of presenteeism: not working while sick, but performing happiness while depleted.

for neither home nor work, just depleted from the effort of crossing the mental bridge.
