10 spoons
Only 10 to last the day
My parents forget that
They forget i only have 10
1 for doing homework
2 for doing an exam
3 for the school day
4 for socialising
…
Thats it
My 10 are gone
Yet i have to keep going
6 for chores
7 for arguments
10 for crying in the shower
And now i have -33
And when i wake up
I have -23
And the day after
-13 and finally
-3 till i have my 10 back
But every day i get more and more
My parents forget that
I only have 10
And now im in -198
And its only been 2 weeks
My parents forget
Im different
Im disabled
Im …
weird?

there was study seen that people with autism & adhd should use the 10 spoon method to manage burnout and each activiy is a diffrent lot of spoons so if you do washing up its 1 spoon, cleaning a whole room however could be 6 and on and on , my parents know about this method but always forget im diffrent to them and work me so hard into depression and burnout
