The Spoons Are All Gone
live with a chronic illness and disability. Over the years I have come to discover more about myself and how to communicate my needs with others. Several years ago I discovered the Spoon Theory, But You Don’t Look Sick, by Christine Miserandino.

Whilst someone without an illness may have double the number of spoons, you have to limit what you do that day to prevent you running out of energy.
