Spoon theory is a powerful concept that can help people with chronic illnesses explain their energy levels to others. It was developed by Christine Miserandino, who used spoons to represent the limited amount of energy she had each day.

Coping strategies are actions we take–consciously or unconsciously–to deal with stress, problems, or uncomfortable emotions.
