I need to get over that first because thinking about a course on top of that is making me feel worse.

I wish I wasn't an anxious person
Sorry to hear you have headache and feeling anxious, I know what that feels like, hope this past soon for you. With a college course in animals, now I am no expert but it may not be too focused on group talks although you can probably expect some. However most course will explain once you look into them how the course is set out. Most colleges as well offer advice for people wanting to go college in future, check on web site of the college probably some were in contact link, it probably say for advice email or call. Emailing may be better as not to rush into anything but there’s no harm in emailing to enquire or call to book appointment if you feel ready. Also if you wanted to mention about your anxiety this would help as most colleges offer support and this will help them help you in thinking about of what type of course would suit you. Hope this helps you. What I would do is look at different colleges and all info and then see which ones you like to find more about and do the above once decided. Also you don't have to take this any further even if you enquire because you are only weighing up your options. Best Wishes
