Dear Belle:

You have a variety of interests: they don’t all have to come together in one career path. You can have a job in science/ public health (“always enjoyed science. interested in the human body and babies.. helping people”), attend an acting class (“obsessed with the idea of becoming an actress”), work part time or volunteer in an animal shelter (“interested in protecting animals and being around them”), join a hiking club (“I love nature, being surrounded by it and feel it.. I’m very active”), etc.

My advice: don’t look for one job/ one occupation/ one career to satisfy all your interests. Instead, diversify, like I suggested above. Also, because you suffer from anxiety, have a daily routine that includes exercise, listening to guided meditations and practicing other Mindfulness exercises.
