Do you ever get half way through the day and realize - there aren't enough spoons left for the last half? And you can't just nap and get more
There are four things you may not know about the Spoon Theory, which is a metaphor to explain how people with chronic illness need to ration their energy.
That’s what it’s like living with chronic illnesses. Not enough spoons to do all the things, having to constantly make choices about how to spend your spoons, and always having spoons in your hand reminding you that you are, indeed, a Spoonie. Miserandino says, “When other people can simply do things, I have to attack it and make a plan like I am strategizing a war.”
