I don’t have a mental illness, I have a physical illness that causes me a lot of pain. I think the confusion here is partly my fault for not saying so at the outset.
I clearly have weird hang ups about it all. I can’t pretend I’m “right” to cringe at spoonies but they do make me uncomfy for the reasons I tried to outlined.
Yeah I have to agree with your takes here. I also don’t get the point of the spoon metaphor period because you could just express it as like, batteries or change or something instead of introducing a random other item which has no bearing on energy or task completion.
