    I love this. For almost two years I had an all access wristband for taking walks and getting exercise. Last December the park stopped honoring it and now I beat myself up every day because I have to choose between taking care of my body and maintaining a tidy environment. This is way better than spoons theory for me. Thank you.

    • @chaoskittensandcrafting
      @chaoskittensandcrafting 4 дня назад

      I'm so glad this resonates with you! Having to decide between taking care of ourselves or our environment is often the hardest decision (and I hate to say I put myself on the back burner far more often than I'd like to admit). I have a partner who sometimes comes in and asks why I went and reorganized the bookshelf instead of doing dishes, and this was a way for me to be able to communicate that my brain/body combo for the day said that this was the task that was accomplishable. *shrug*

      @@chaoskittensandcrafting ADHD and CPTSD definitely limit my ability to do things, but spoons theory wasn't adequate, because it's not that I run out of energy - it's that a combination of focus and anxiety frequently drastically restricts what my seemingly limitless energy can be used for.

    I like these analogies/metaphors for neurodivergent or chronically ill people to put into words what life is like for us. But I don't think the metaphor - spoon or ticket or whatever - is what confuses other people. I think they just can't imagine how a person's energy can work like this, because their bodies/brains are so different.

      Yea, it is hard when we are trying to explain to other people who have such a different experience than us. But having these analogies and metaphors are a step toward bridging the gap and helping them learn to see things through other peoples' lived experiences.

    • @chaoskittensandcrafting
      @chaoskittensandcrafting 4 дня назад

      It depends on how you decide to finish off your piece. If it's going in a frame, you're going to want to leave enough to wrap around the edges of the backing board still. But that also is going to be affected by how much fabric is showing around the edge between where the stitching ends and the frame begins. All of it is personal preference mixed with the supplies you're using and the size and shape of your piece.

    @cyphermage6112 9 дней назад

    I like this analogy, but I'd keep the tickets unrestricted and adjust the costs of the rides, instead. So each morning I wake up with a certain number of tickets, rock up to the carnival, and check out the cost of the rides that day. Yesterday showering was 4 tickets, but today it's 9 tickets - well, that's not getting done today. Laundry is only 3 tickets, so that's probably do-able, but "organise the bookshelf" is on special for only 1 ticket today! Usually it's 13, so I better make use of that special today, because who the heck knows when it will appear again - and if I wait until tomorrow to try and do it, it will undoubtedly be back to full price again.

    • @chaoskittensandcrafting
      @chaoskittensandcrafting 4 дня назад

      I do think that that version of the analogy better for some people. I use this version because for me, I don't get a certain number of tickets. It is much more specific for me, personally. But if that works for you, use it! Any way we can explain how things work for us to other people is important and useful!

    I realized a few months back that a magic system I've used in my homebrew RPG was a good analogy system. spells have a Difficulty number (D#) casters have a Stat for Spell Skill. to cast a spell, your spell skill MUST equal or exceed the D#. you can pay 1 mana to add your Spell skill to itself, as many times as you need in order to cast the spell. so if you go to cast a D#4 spell, and your SS is 1, it costs 3 mana to cast it, while if it's 2 or 3 it only costs 1, and if it's a 4, it costs no mana at all! some days i wake up with high spell skill but low mana, while other days it can be the reverse, or something different altogether, like mana that's only good for bookshelf rearranging 😂

  • @HiruHeart
    @HiruHeart 9 дней назад

    I use an energy level diagram from kinetics and chemistry because even if i have the energy for the task, that activation barrier is often my biggest block. On a good day i can use a 'catalyst' or some other 'rate enhancement' to give myself enough momentum to get over or lower the activation barrier, but other times its too daunting and ill take a long time to do it or not find myself able to. Other times its both the activation energy AND the fact the reaction is endergonic ie i have to put additional energy into the system to get myself to do it. Like going on a walk will give me more energy for the rest of the day, but i need a baseline to get myself up, dressed, willing to go on a walk for no other reason than to go on a walk. That stuff is the activation energy, and the reaction is overall exergonic because any form of exercise puts me in a better state later on. On the other hand something like cooking, takes away energy, even if i enjoy it, so i need a certain baseline PLUS additional energy depending on the meal. Putting it this way also helps me explain why ill get stuck after preparing to do a task when ive set everything up for it but still cannot get myself to do it

    • @chaoskittensandcrafting
      @chaoskittensandcrafting 4 дня назад

      My problem with the spoon theory is that a lot of people just didn't understand that the spoons were standing in for energy consumption, or they would be very flippant and say "well just wash the spoons, then." It's sometimes hard to know if they genuinely don't understand, or they're being deliberately obtuse. This analogy takes some of that power away, in my opinion.

    The all access band for neurotypicals isn't a bad analogy but it's not quite right either it's still cost them energy to do certain tasks because some time it costs some energy it costs him whatever resource same as even even for neuros spicy even if it's a shower ax you know shower band day it still takes time it still takes energy it still takes resources and etc I like the idea of credits but variable cost credits neurotypicals the cost for an action is the same everyday or nearly so they can have bad days too but there's consistency and cost for neuro spicy we've got to roll the dice or whatever RNG that you want to use for the day for how much the cost is and it is per time we attempt the task because all of the conditions could be correct that accessing the shower is the lowest cost to us when we go to access it but if we need a second shower later because it's been a long hard day and everything that we did in the first shower isn't covering with the second shower needs to cover at that point the cost for getting onto that ride could be max energy level and they're just isn't enough in the reserves at all

    • @ПаніПончик

      For sure! But she did say "while the carnival is open" so that could mean until you're ready to pack up for the night and go home (settle down and rest) I hear NTs say "well, I just always do X every day and I don't really have to think about it" and maybe if they hate their job and get exhausted there they just say "but I still get up and go in every day, no excuses" because they don't exactly understand being literally paralyzed by anxiety and indecisiveness. When they don't believe me that thoughts can do that to you, I just ask if they could will themselves to touch a hot stove burner or a candle flame. Their brain will be like "nooooo! You shouldn't!"
