Solution rather then Sympathy based Chat/Support
Sympathetic ears and venting are great but when you are living life with challenges that no amount of emotional validation fixes - the emotional componant is just one piece of what you are dealing with.
It might get all tangled up with your disability, you might have emotional reactions like all humans, you might even have secondary mental health issues connected to disability related trauma
Meanwhile you are still trying to find solutions to make day to day life easier, find resources, cope with inaccessible situations, etc.
Think of this as optional venting followed by workshop/sounding board chat.
The goal is to work together with others that at least half get it to find ways to cope and mitigate the things that we need to deal with.
Whether it's small challenges of daily life or society just making things worse by creating artifical limitations.
How can we help this one person accomplish task X (washing dishes, paying bills, getting to thier art class, going on a date, taking care of groceries, whatever) when they are dealing with disability challenge Y, external situation Z, emotional reactions E.
We can't wave magic wands and fix society to actually be accessible, accomidating, understanding, etc what we can do is help each other with tools, strategies, brainstorming, and perhaps even advocacy.
It's not fair that we have to work harder and it feels like we are always the ones who need to accept half a loaf then settle for a quarter and then be so greatful that we got a few crumbs.
So now that we are done for the moment hating those things how can we support and brainstorm

The challenges of unemployment and underemployment in the disability community and the latest hurdle/concern someone is facing
The constant fight of passing or not passing when you have a hideable disability - and the decision stress of one person
How do you stand up for yourself when doing certain things on your own is really challenging and it's hard to feel like a valid adult. Where is the balance.
How do you explain your disability, when do you explain?
How do you have a full and complete life?
How do you get task X done while coping with challenge Y.
