Hi all- tips for coping with disability?

Hope you're all doing well.
I'm 24 years old, and I have the following: Type 1 diabetes, coeliac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, polycystic ovary disease, and depression/anxiety.
Does anyone have anything similar and can give any tips on how to cope with the symptoms? Or just how to cope with having a disability in general?
