Spoonie spoon theory gift hidden condition hip flask

Out of Spoons, for those who have no energy left. This relates to the spoon theory. The spoon theory helps people understand how chronic illness, chronic pain, and disability can be an impact on a person’s capacity to perform everyday tasks, engage in work and social life, and meet longer-term goals. The spoon theory is that those people who live with a chronic illness, chronic pain, or have a disability have limited amounts of energy, and this energy is represented by spoons, so that they only have a limited number of spoons to spend on completing tasks on any given day. This results in these people who live with chronic health conditions having to make many difficult on how they are to spend their limited resources of energy. Also each day it may take a different number of spoons to complete a given as energy levels can vary considerably from day to day also. Planning for future events can be very challenging when you're unsure of how many spoons you may have at that future date. Hopefully some spoon merchandize will get people talking and understanding a little better those living with chronic illnesses.
