Chronic pain sucks so much and periods just make everything worse.

Any disabled beings have any tips for other disabled beings?
We are kinda having a rough (ruff, lol) time lately.
We would especially love tips for work and how to figure out if working is actually an option right now.

Random disabled thing.
We don't feel like any of the "support needs labels/levels" really fits us.
Like we wouldn't really say we are low support needs. We definitely aren't high support needs. And medium kinda seems wrong?
We are like high low support needs to low medium support needs, we feel like.
Do any other beings feel like this? Like you are in between support needs "levels"/"labels"/whatever the word is?

We have once again been reminded that we might not be able to work a job by seeing what is required by some jobs and knowing that we can't/can't always do those things.
This shit sucks cause we need money. And more specifically, we need money that doesn't come from the body's dad as we want to get away from him [cause of him being transphobic, homophobic, etc.]. And he doesn't even get ***that much*** money. He is disabled and a retired veteran.
We also need money to get a service dog, which might make working easier/doable, but also we just might not be able to work at all.
We don't even really know what "reasonable accommodation(s)" means for most jobs. Let's say, for example, a place requires a worker to be able to lift like 50 pounds. If someone can't lift that, are they allowed accommodation for that? Is it based on the place specifically?
Working and job stuff are hard to figure out. If any being has any tips on this stuff, please share it with us. (We live in the US, btw. We don't want to share what state, though, so that might affect stuff).

Adding on to the vent.
Tw/cw: suicide mention, suicidal thoughts, and shit like that
What do you do when in past lives you were disabled but still did stuff that you can't in this life?
What do you do when you realize that you should be more able to do stuff in this life but you are less able?
What do you do when you can't even talk about most of this to most people you know in person cause they wouldn't understand and would hate you?
What do you do when you want to make yourself more disabled than you already are?
What do you do when you are so close to trying to end it all because you can't see why you should keep living?
What do you do when you don't even think you could end it all cause you're scared and just not really wanting to end it all?
What do you do when you can't mention this to people cause you don't want to be sent away even when the place you're currently at sucks?
What do you do when you want to live but you want to die?

Little vent from us. We are kinda going through some shit rn.
We don't think there are any tw/cw but if there are let us know.
What do you do when you realize that you might not be able to work a "normal" job or maybe any job at all ever?
What do you do when you realize that your disabilities affect what you are able to do in ways that are so against what you wanted to do and what you wish you could do?
What do you do when disabilities are actually disabling?
What do you do when other people don't understand even when they are disabled themselves?
What do you do in any situations where disabilities affect what happens?
What do you do when you need to tell people and make them understand that you are disabled and that means you can't do the same things as others?
