  • I'ma have to come back to that. Aware of the concept, but not have much driven to the core concept. Little too tired to read, but thanks friend

  • It's called Spoon Theory

    If you ever played a Zelda game, its how many "hearts" you have before you "faint". It's a metaphor about how much energy a person has, that can be usefully descriptive when discussing one's experiences with managing a chronic illness

    Wanna shower? That'll cost ya a spoon. Maybe you've got eight of them, so how do you choose to use them? If you run out, you won't be able to cook yourself dinner, and there's no amount of "will power" that will help you

    Use some medication to help you "push-through" because you're hungry? That'll cost ya a spoon on credit (when you wake up)

    When it comes to disability — if you over-exert, it can cost you your entire next day while you rest and "restore hearts". So you have to learn how to manage your energy more conscientiously than you would if you didn't have "that disability"

    The theory can help, not only to teach yourself how to manage your energy for everyday tasks, but also how to discuss the hurdles that your situation presents

    In my own experience — it can be especially helpful in discussing how an "invisible illness" affects you... with family, friends, and sometimes acquaintances. And I find that to be kind, because it's easily digestible for the person who hasn't had those extremes of experiences

    Regardless of my struggles, I'm very grateful for the amount of spoons I've been given

  • Sticking to your opinion without openness to changing them (especially due to fear)... that's how you become inflexible and risk breaking something (or something breaking you)

  • Fuck, just reading that made my stomach twist. Same exact stress-dream, over 10 years outta college, except organic chemistry instead of French... but I did take organic chem and I did really well. Rude ass, stupid brains

  • didn't have the spoons to do anything about it

    I see you dabble in disability. I always appreciated this metaphor for it's usefulness and kindness

  • I really appreciate the info and the way you laid it out. Just curious, is that knowledge part of a hobby and/or career? Or was that like just one of the random tidbits you picked up somewhere?
