What is the Spoon Theory?
Spoon Theory, coined by Christine Miserandino, is a metaphor used by people with chronic illness to describe the limited energy available each day. Each 'spoon' represents a unit of energy — and every task costs spoons. When they are gone, they are gone. Understanding this changes everything about how we see ourselves and each other.
