compassion fatigue

A reluctance to give donations to charities raising funds for natural disasters such as the aftermath of the Tsunami, the S Asian Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. These events appear to occur with increasing frequency and so the public become weary of constantly being called upon to donate funds to help the needy.

This is also accompanied by a feeling that funds given in the past have been mismanaged through poor administration and other factors: therefore there is little point in making a donation as it will never reach those who need it most.
Roger was suffering from compassion fatigue when he watched another appeal to help the victims of the S Asian Earthquake. This time, he decided, charity begins at home. He went out for a few drinks down the pub.

Quarantine Fatigue

Despite the justifiable, life-saving measures provided by social distancing and shelter-in-place directives there has been a significant cost exacted with compliance; lives have been disrupted, businesses crippled and the log-term psychological impact is vast, if not unmeasurable.
Yo! I've done watched every Netflix Series, rerun and crappy B-movie that exists on Amazon Prime, HBO and Cinemax.

Me too. I'm even tired of playing 'escaped convict and the wardens wife' with the Mrs.
DUDE! You REALLY got the Quarantine Fatigue!

Search Fatigue

When you're looking for a video you've seen, or friend told you about, or report you know you've read that has the facts to support your Youtube comment, but, despite the power of Google, you tire and give up.
I wanted to find the video you told me about but after five minutes I surrendered to search fatigue and went back to watching cat videos/porn.
