it’s sort of ironic that the original article on spoon theory costs so many spoons to read, so i decided to write a brief summary for people who need it

• spoon theory is an analogy
  
• in it, spoons = energy
  
• you get [x] number of spoons a day ([x] amount of energy), & doing things costs [x] number of spoons ([x] amount of energy)
• for example, you get 10 spoons today; getting up costs 1, making food costs 2, making a phone call costs 2, watching a tv episode costs 2, etc
  
• the purpose of spoon theory is to explain to abled/healthy people what being disabled/chronically ill is like, in a way they might find easier to understand
  
• it highlights how little energy disabled/chronically ill people have when compared to abled healthy people, how much more energy things can cost, & how careful they have to be in prioritising what they spend that energy on
  
• disabled/chronically ill people also use it as a way of talking about their energy levels
  
• if you say “i’m low on spoons”, you’re not just saying you’re low on energy; you’re saying you’re low on energy because you’re disabled/chronically ill
  
• for this reason, abled healthy people don’t get to say “i’m low on spoons”
  

here’s the link to the original article

also worth noting: 

• creator of spoon theory has said it is okay to apply it to mental illness as well. 
• your benchmark on whether you’re “sick enough” to use spoons is your own, so if you feel like it applies, it can apply.
  

I’m going to use the tag “#low on spoons” whenever I’m bitching about being in a depressive mood or actually drained. FYI.

Interested in developing your characters, or just want to talk about them? I’ve created an online questionnaire that will help people flesh out their characters. The best part is, it also doubles as a survey that will let me collect data on what sort of traits people tend to give their OCs. Once I get enough responses I’ll be publishing the results for all of you to see. It’s not academic or for a project, but I think

If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to not go through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.

If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.

Please wait for the story. I promise it’s cool

Something’s gone wrong with our phones again and life sucks.

Please reblog/talk about my books for me?
