Ask HN: How do I cope with being a young diabetic?

I am in early twenties, I had difficulties with choosing a major (my mother forced me to choose a major) this lead to three years wasted at college without advancing and needing to change major to Compsci and by then I discovered that I can't change my major anymore and my only solution (at the moment) was to go to private school and I couldn't afford that.My mother explained that she forced to choose that major so I can be near (a very dump explanation) this lead to fights with her and a lot of stress and this led to me getting diabetes type 2 (and because of bad diet too).I am in a very position now: I can't handle stress the way a healthy person does.I can't do any high stress stuff (starting a startup, handle corporate culture).I tried freelancing but clients are very cheap. How can I cope with this (feeling of being disadvantaged)? For HNers with medical conditions that can't tolerate stress: how do you handle it?
