    "The Spoon Theory" is the idea that we have a certain number of spoons each day. The spoons represent units of energy. In the chronic illness and autoimmune community, our spoons of energy can get depleted much more quickly. That being said, it doesn't have to strictly apply to someone with an autoimmune condition. Our energy required for the day can be impacted by pregnancy, illness, surgery, grief, and mental illness.
