To "cope" has a bit of a different meaning than to "adjust". To "cope" means to deal with something hard or difficult while to "adjust" means to adapt or alter oneself to the current circumstances, whether they are difficult or not. Ex: It was hard for the man to cope after the death of his wife. Ex: I can't cope with this pain!
