@jennaxhealth: on the outside they look the same but one just doesn’t seem to function quite like the rest #chronicillness #invisibleillness #potssyndrome #relatable

Abby :

my parents got me the Visible band so I can track how I use my energy through the day. I mostly sat on the couch all day, took my dog outside a few times, and im over the "budget" it gave me 🙃

noushy :

92% feels like a good day with chronic illness 😂

Just Watching :

You forgot to include the bit where everyone gets annoyed at you for having a low battery and acts like you're just choosing to not participate

liv tartar :

and guys reminder- mental illness IS ABSOLUTELY a chronic illness

betterwithpuns99 :

And your 92% is their 40% 🫠

laurenpal10 :

Except it’s never 92% it’s like 75-% at best

karlamarie 🌙 :

i wish our percentages were actually visible to everyone, maybe there would be more empathy

saskia🫀 :

ik that 67 was intentional

Diitama★ :

I don't have a chronic illness but I have depression and AuDHD tendencies, so that also hits

anaya :

67

Jess :

While I understand the spoon 🥄 metaphor, I do like the defective battery 🔋🪫metaphor better as someone with chronic illnesses. And neurodivergence which affects mental 🧠 energy as well.

Donna :

92% 😳 My battery doesn’t even go that high anymore. 75% is a really good day and is my 100% even though it’s a rarity. 50% or less is a more standard starting point for me.

Boudica 🦩 :

this is a way better example than spoons. ✨

Ana Gambale :

the phone battery analogy is so much better than the spoon analogy, like how am i gonna explain spoons to people who have no idea about how much energy we have

Allecat 🇦🇺 :

This is a great way of showing chronic illness energy ❤

mae 🧸 :

S-Six... Seven? ;-; KWEEN

sabrina :

too real 😭 i think i start most days at a 60-70% 😭

minori.storm :

This just. okay yea I'm showing everyone who asks about my illness anymote

elisekatherine5 :

This is such a smart explanation!

𐋀 ✪ Celeste ✪ 𐋀 :

Sara :

I woke up at 30% every day

mUnknown :

I wish. I wake up most of the time at like 25%. If I make anything to eat - its a success. Showering plus cooking leaves me at 0%.

𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒆́𝒏 ✨Rufito’s daughter :

this is my life with autism 🧍🏼‍♀️

Pame 🎶 :

i feel like this with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder 😥
