Do you find it hard to explain to your healthy friends what it's like to live with chronic illness? What happens inside your mind when you plan your day?
How every suggestion or choice you make has a direct consequence on your energy and you're constantly bargaining with yourself? How do you explain your limited energy?
I have.
All my life.
And a few days ago I discovered The Spoon Theory!
And it makes it so much easier to explain now.
I'm a Spoonie. (hear me roar!...that's another video!)
Whether you live with chronic fatigue syndrome, IBD, ulcerative colitis, chrons disease, fibromyalgia or any other form of invisible chronic illness, knowing about The Spoon Theory will help your understanding.
I've also discovered I'm a HSP [Highly Sensitive Person] and that explains A LOT too. I started making videos about that. Check them out on my channel.

MY STORY: For me, it started with ulcerative colitis when I was 11 years old. I had reconstructive surgery at 28. But having an autoimmune disease comes with a lot of challenges that make my life difficult, painful, every single day.
