What about talking to the professor - maybe he could help or suggest resources. What about extra credit project?
Maybe a new major is called for unless you are firmly committed to science.
What would you study if you had no required courses. Maybe that will be a hint.
Thank you for your reply! Making sure that I eat something every few hours is definitely good advice. I do not handle missing meals/snacks well, I just haven't been paying attention to food lately. I will start bringing things with me to snack on, thanks for that advice!
I talked to the professor today about how I'm having a hard time and she gave me advice more on how to understand the material, which was kind of helpful but did not reduce my anxiety at all. I am seeing a tutor for the first time next Friday so maybe that will help a little.

The thing is that I'm actually in the major that I love - Psychology - but I am doing a Bachelor of Science so I am required to take organic chemistry. This is my last chemistry class required though, so I'm really hoping I pass it so I'm done after this!
