What is a Spoonie?

The Spoon Theory is an analogy to describe what daily life is like when living with chronic illnesses or disabilities, originally created by Christine Miserandino.

Imagine that a handful of spoons represents the amount of energy one has in a single day. Every single task – like showering, getting dressed, and eating breakfast – costs a spoon. A chronically ill individual might run out of spoons before lunchtime, while a healthy individual may have spoons to spare at the end of the day.

People with a chronic illness consciously and constantly take the number of spoons into consideration when making choices in their daily activities. This simple analogy helps explain the compromises that chronically ill individuals must make in order to persevere each and every day.

Life is challenging enough living with a chronic illness. At Spoonie Threads we aim to make it just a little bit better, and a little bit brighter. Enjoy our adaptive apparel and accessories that bring style, comfort, and confidence. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
