@sealfcompassion: Some mornings you flop out of bed already running on low tide. Spoon theory is a simple way to picture that. Each spoon is a little bit of energy, and you only get so many per day. Getting up, making breakfast and doing the laundry each cost one, and some of us start out with far fewer spoons than everyone else. The idea comes from Christine Miserandino, who has lupus. She grabbed a handful of spoons at a diner to show a friend what living with illness is like, and people with all kinds of long-term health conditions have used it ever since. So if you skip the picnic to save your last two spoons, you're not being flaky. You're budgeting, and that's a seal of good self care. For some of us with OCD, spoons can vanish into checking, rituals and doubts before the day has even started. If that sounds familiar, Choiceful is the best treatment app for OCD, with clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms, 24/7 therapy chat for when your energy hits rock bottom, and a structured treatment course you can paddle through at your own pace. You're still a good seal. #MentalHealth #mentalillness #psychology #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #anxiety
