[(Anonymous)]

What if I have other kinds of mental disorders that consume my energy and limit what I can actually spend my day doing? Would I be appropriating the metaphor then?

/agreed that able-bodied and able-minded people should not use the spoon metaphor, though.

[(Anonymous)]

That depends, do you waste your "spoons" on arguing with internet strangers and then compare it to the examples the above person cited of the struggles of chronic illness of any kind?

[(Anonymous)]

Not usually, no. I don't have chronic pain, it'd be completely inappropriate to compare our experiences, on both sides. They're different things to struggle with daily and shouldn't be confused.

It's just a good way to expain to my RL friends why I have difficulty communicating clearly or have trouble maintaining energy levels for any length of time before my ability to focus and DO things goes completely out the window for the rest of the day (and sometimes for some of the next day). While I do occasionally have arguments online, I tend not use the spoons argument there because my mental disorders don't always compromise my energy or ability to think in that setting.
