I think it's very brave of you to go back to college. You're already making steps in the right direction toward your preferred career, just by making that decision
I am currently a freshman in college. As this is my first time, I can't really say much about going *back* to college but I can relate to you in many ways. I have ADHD, anxiety, and I also have had great difficult with math over the years.
First- is there a reason that you haven't been tested for learning disabilities in the past (like middle school/high school/college before)? One thing that you should know is that colleges aren't required, as public elementary/middle/high schools are, to make accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Every college that I've researched has some sort of disability center or student services department, but the accommodations that they deem "appropriate" can differ from school to school. There are also very few colleges which perform the sort of extensive testing that is required for "official documentation" of a disability. Have you gone onto your college's website and looked at their services? That would be a good place to start.
I am a student who is registered at my school with the student disability center for both a learning disability and psychological issues. All I had to do was fill out an online registration form with the student services, have the place who evaluated me send their report, and then I was paired with a learning specialist who worked with me to see what classes I was taking and what accommodations I felt were necessary (the way it is set up at my college, you can modify the accommodations based on the class- for example, I also have trouble with math so I have some additional accommodations for my calculus class that I don't have in my other classes). Regardless of how your school is set up to work with students with disabilities, it's really important that you advocate for yourself. Be prepared to tell them what areas you are weak in, what accommodations you think will help, and how you plan to do your part in tackling whatever the class is.
Oh, I also want to say that you shouldn't let your lack of confidence in math prevent you from pursuing a degree in an area that you are interested in. I have pretty much always struggled with math. I wouldn't be where I am today without hours of extra work, hours of working with private tutors, and lots of blood and sweat and tears. We all have our strengths and weaknesses
