Spoon Theory

I receive the magazine Inspire from Versus Arthritis and there is an article about Spoon Theory in the Autumn issue. When I read it I thought I remembered reading about it in more detail on here. Been trying to find link via FAQ’s but couldn’t find it.

Would be grateful if someone could post a link as could do with a reminder as it was very useful to me when I was a ‘newbie”. Thanks

Feel for you, what a welcome home. I’m pretty good at afternoon naps, put an audio book on and asleep before chapter finishes. I spend more time scrolling back to find where I should be up to than getting to end of story

I love the spoon theory. It's something my (on the autistic spectrum) partner can understand. He can't get why I don't just go for a walk if I'm low on energy, but he now understands and even asks if I'm low on spoons.
