So I am 22 and have been taking online college to get my Gen-eds out of the way and now I'm stuck.

I want to work with animals so I was thinking a vet tech but I'm not sure id be able to understand any of the math cos math is hard for me to get, but working with animals is really the only think I want to do><

Also with my depression/anxiety its hard to really do anything ><

I sincerely feel you with the math issue. For some reason, my anxiety is awful with math, depending on the level, etc.

Nonetheless, I know that you can do this. If you truly want to work with animals you will be able to overcome this obstacle of math. It's going to hurt at times and your anxiety might lash out, but you are more than capable.

If you know this is what you love, then you will get there. You've got this.

I totally understand with it being hard to do anything with depression. I have the same problem. I know it's probably none of my business, but you should probably see a doctor about it if you haven't already. If you have, maybe you could up your dose if you're taking medicine (I just did that after finally making myself go into the doctor and it's helped a ton). Or maybe try therapy? I've not tried that as I have social anxiety as well, but maybe it'd work for you. Anyways, just ignore me if I'm saying something offensive. I'm sorry.

As far as the math thing goes, would the college allow you to see the material for the math classes you'd be taking? Maybe sit in on a class or two or talk to the professor? It may be a good idea to talk to a guidance counselor at the college and talk about your math fears with them. They may be able to show you some of the coursework or point you in the direction of tutoring or some such.

All I can really say though, is if you honestly know that this is what you want to do, don't let anything stop you. If you want this, you go for it and you get it.

If you want to be a vet tech, don't let the maths put you off! From what I've heard, the maths required in veterinary courses is harder than the maths you'll actually be using on the job (from my old university friends, in Australia), and if you work hard you can do well in your maths classes even if you don't like maths. I really love maths now, but I used to suck at it, and I find everyone around me made maths sound worse than it was which is a major part of why I was bad at it.

Khan Academy has tons of videos on every aspect of maths all explained very clearly with examples, and quizzes at the end of each topic, all totally free. You could try get the syllabus for any maths you have to do ahead of time and try find the relevant videos so that you can try get a headstart. A WolframAlpha pro subscription has saved my butt so many times with assignments and textbook work, and with a student email you get it discounted. If I get a problem wrong and I don't know why, or if I just don't know how to do something - stick it into Wolfram's problem solver and follow the step-by-step solution. Sometimes I get answers in a format different to what I am learning, but rarely so. I pay $30 AUD a year, but it must have gone up since then as the site now says $6 per month or $4.75 a month if you pay for a year all at once ($57). So it's a bit pricey but if you can afford it just for your maths heavy semesters I would recommend it, and without paying you can still put problems into it and get the answer without the step-by-step bit too.I'm on Subeta a lot and while I'm only on basic calculus in my own schooling, anything before that I can try help you with. A face to face tutor is better though, maybe if anybody you know studies maths they might be able to help?

But like Lisa said, don't forget about your health along the way. I'm also 22, but most of my classmates are in their mid 20's, one of them is even in his 60's - none of us knew what we wanted to do before now, or we weren't ready, and that's totally ok. If you think you're ready, go for it, and if not, that's ok too! Just do what feels right and you will achieve this. Feel free to PM me if you need anything!
