Thank you Hanna for the spoon theory. My daughter lives with chronic illness and I live by her , watching her ups and downs , and seeing how so many of her millennial friends just don’t understand the cancelling plans or lack of energy she has at times.
I really appreciate your giving voice to your experience as it helps others know how it feels from the inside .
What a great write and analogy. I Did not know about the spoon theory, I’ll let my daughter read this so we can have this Ease with ”I’m all out of spoons today, or I’m low on spoons.”
Oh I get you, girl. That guilt hits so hard, especially when you’re usually the magic-maker and then life’s like ‘LOL not today.’ But they won’t remember the canceled plans or missed extras. They’ll remember feeling loved… and probably whatever sugary thing you managed to toss their way.
