Has anyone ever used spoon theory for personal reasons or to be able to show others your pain?

For the broken, malfunctioning, pained people of the world and their friends/family. Got pain? This is the place to be.

My gf and I use this analogy all the time actually. It's generally how we describe being mentally exhausted from the activities of any given day.
Yeah, "How are your spoons?" is a common phrase in my friend group anymore for that exact reason. Personally, I've also used battery analogies, like being "low battery."
