The spoon theory has a blind spot for ADHDers, it assumes you can perceive the capacity daily.

I can't. I've got everyday am 8am to 2pm 40 spoons existence, followed by a very long up to 8 or 9pm 10 spoons existence, followed by a whatever the time I go to sleep 50 spoons existence.

But it's nice to know about it because not everybody is a delayed sleep phase statistical average ADHDer. In my case there are two winds, and I can make them both 50/50 spoons if I nap right in the middle of them. 🤔

It's very interesting though 👇

The invisible math of chronic illness: before saying yes to anything, you're calculating energy reserves, recovery time, medication timing, and whether you'll pay for it tomorrow.

It's not laziness. It's a constant equation that healthy people never have to solve.

With bipolar, my energy fluctuates, so my habits do too.
On bad days, I do the easy version of my care routines.
Doing a little is better than doing nothing. 🥄

Current status: Spoon debt is real. I’m at -13 and the spoon man is looking to collect.

Some service work looks loud.
Some of it looks like naps, boops, and refusing to let your human push too far.

A Sunday post from Bed Jail™ about rest, spoon theory, and why quiet service work still counts. 🐾🛏️

Wie Leute Pacing und "Spoon Theory" verstehen:
"Ich habe heute 12 Löffel verbraucht, hatte aber nur 10, habe morgen also wahrscheinlich nur 8."

Wie es in Wahrheit ist:
"Ich war gestern spazieren, was noch in meinem Energiebudget gelegen hätte, aber dadurch, dass ich heute zu viel gemacht habe, bekomme ich morgen Schmerzen in den Beinen und Bewegungen sind anstrengend, ähnlich wie Muskelkater, obwohl das gestern und bis dahin noch keine Überlastung war."

Equity will always benefit disabled people over equality. Equality's default is a society built for non disabled folks only. Equity listens to specific needs and accommodations. 🥄🥄🥄
