You use what works for you💖Anyone who tries to tell you that you can't is gatekeeping and dead wrong!

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it! 🌸

Don’t let anybody tell you you can’t use the spoon theory. It’s meant for anybody who can benefit from it. Mental/emotional disabilities can be just as exhausting as physical ones and gatekeepers are soooo annoying

We don't gatekeep here. If you feel like you have a "bank" of energy and you have to choose what to allocate that energy towards before you run out, you're probably a spoonie

The great thing about spoons is that they are versatile. When you have them, ofc! Wishing you many spoons and luck.

Hi there to all the warriors on here!

So basically I want to know if I am "allowed" to use the spoon theory. I don't want to offend anyone and I can't find a lot of it online.

I am diagnosed with anxiety disorder and ADHD. I habe a hard time explaining to others why I can't do everything I want and need to take more rest than others and am tired more easily.

I've done some research about the spoon theory and I love the idea of it and it makes explaining everything so much easier. But, I don't know if it's okay to use the term with my illness/condition.

I would love to here your thoughts on this.

Am I a spoonie?
