I know what you mean about people not understanding. About the only person who gets it in my family is my dad, and that's probably because he has a heart condition and we both have a lot of fatigue.
I told him about "
Spoon Theory" and it helped him to understand some of my problems and gave him a reference to use with his own health problems. My mom doesnt understand what we're talking about when my dad said he's doing an "inventory" on his "spoons".
