Me too. Those of us who responsibly did what responsible people should do, Tried to help, volunteer, guide our children with strength and compassion and set a good example are now getting tired.

It takes a lot of energy to get emotionally involved with issues. I have thrown in the towel. I can't effect change on most things.

I care. So my blood pressure goes up and my heart rate increases and I get stress related stuff when I watch the horrible things humans do to other humans on TV.
