Compassion fatigue, activism fatigue, secondary trauma, all of those are very real things. Being burned out doesn't mean you're a bad person, or that you don't care. It means your brain needs a break, because it's meant to deal with stress in short bursts, not a constant, nonstop deluge of stress. (And that's true no matter how privileged you are/aren't. That's just how human brains work.) Don't ever feel guilty for feeling burned out; it does not reflect on you as a person. You have nothing to be guilty about.
And, don't ever feel guilty about taking some time to rest, taking a step back from the news cycle, social media, filtering certain tags, etc. etc. You can always come back to it. You need to give yourself a break, or you'll have some kind of breakdown, be it mental, physical, or both. And there is a difference between staying informed and doomscrolling. There is a difference between "selfishness" or "self-indulgence" and self-care. There is a difference between "not caring" and taking a step back for the sake of your mental health. And yes, there is a difference between "I don't care," and "I just don't have the mental/physical/emotional/etc. bandwidth to deal with this right now." (It should also be noted that just because someone isn't posting about current events or what have you, doesn't mean they don't care about them or aren't doing anything. They could be doing stuff you can't see, or maybe they feel they have nothing to say that hasn't already been said, or maybe blorboposting is what's keeping their mental health okay. You don't know, so just be kind.)

Bad days don't make you a failure! Good days don't make you a faker!
You are worth more than what you can do on any given day!

[Image #1: drawing of a shark. Caption: “I used to be obsessed with the small things I might have done if I weren’t sick, things like dance with somebody or go to the beach with friends. Technically, I could still do them. I’m not well enough to do as much as the average person, but I can still do things. But people stopped inviting me when I got sick. Even the ones who still wanted to talk to me stopped treating me normally unless they were sick too.”]
[Image #2: drawing of a shark with flowers on it. Caption: “So I stopped being normal. I decided to be myself instead. Now I do the things I want without waiting for someone to do them with me. I dance by myself. I spend my days making little things. I read as many books as I want. When I feel well enough, I go out and take pictures of trees. I don’t concern myself with impressing anyone or being likable. If people want to be in my life, that’s great. If they don’t, that’s okay too. I could have lived a great life if I weren’t sick. But I am sick and I’m just going to go ahead and live a great life anyway.”]
