Autistic Hedgehog
RSSThis is probably a stupid question. But what are spoons? I've heard that term a few times now and google has not been my friend here.

I guess you could say spoons are a unit of measurement, and what they measure is the ability to cope with the shit your day throws at you. When you’re out of spoons, you’re also out of coping ability. I have no idea where the term originated, however, and never used it until I heard it from my husband (who is a lot more up on memetics than I am).

And it’s kind of long, but it’s a nice metaphor and whatnot. Try typing ‘low spoons’ into google :)- strugglingbuthoping liked this
