I get really exhausted by seeing posts where the impetus is basically about how people don’t care about x thing. And it’s. I don’t even think it’s true. Maybe people don’t post about x thing but they might not know or they might just be tired.

I’m tired. Aren’t you tired? Aren’t we all fucking tired? We live in an age where we can know so many things, so many terrible things, and I get empathy fatigue. I just can’t sometimes. I can’t.

Don’t blame people for this. Blame the media for not focusing on certain issues or problems. Blame society for turning a blind eye to victims that don’t fit their perfect criteria. Yes, post things about it. Yes, reblog vital, proven information. This is important.

But trying to make other people feel bad, normal people, for not hefting the emotional labor for something probably isn’t helping much. We’re inundated. And people have to take measures to not drown.

Compassion fatigue is a VERY REAL thing. Trust me. We are all trying our damndest to care wherever we can, to DO whatever we can, but burning out is HUMAN and NORMAL and OKAY. People need breaks, before the world breaks them. Don’t guilt people for reaching fatigue at different times than you do.

More importantly:  Know that there is a specific effort out there to MAKE YOU TIRED in exactly this way, in the hope that you’ll just sit down and shut up.

Choose carefully as you care about things; find good ways of replenishing your energy and your HOPE.  We’re running a marathon - remember you need water.

Ah the free market at work.
(Similar to when I went to CVS to pickup a 90$ prescription and they had their own generic version for 7.99).

This is important!
Tell your Friends.

I can’t believe some insurances quit covering them 😐

From Slate:

The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.

That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.

You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription! 

I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).

Some customers may be automatically eligible for $100 off the retail price thus only paying $10 for a pack, but this may be good backup for those who for whatever reason do not meet those requirements.

Pass this information on, potentially save a life.

I HAVE THIS!!! It is so much cheaper and they also gave me a coupon for further savings for the next time I get them.
