While writing the actions speak louder than words post I had a thought. When your lack of spoons causes you to lose parts of your identity, then you end up needing to spend spoons to work out what your identity is now…
Losing so much energy (and therefore functional levels) in the past few years has made me look at everything through an energy cost lens.
Everything I do, I have to decide if it’s worth the energy spend. but deciding that also takes energy.
Wondering if my few actions show who I am takes energy. Spending time writing takes energy.
I wonder if people get sick of hearing me talk about spoons. I wonder if they know I’m sick of having to approach every action through the lens of if it will use up too much energy.
