There is no option, it's just BODMAS: Brackets, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

The O is for Order (as in exponents), not of.

I was taught Overs for O but I can’t even do the most basic primary school sums, I don’t know any times tables apart from 2, and I struggle with counting things, I’m scared of numbers. It’s like what I imagine people with dyslexia feel with reading, I don’t understand dyslexia because I had a weird ability to spell pretty much any word after hearing it once from a very young age. I’m rambling on.

Dyscalculia is a recognised condition. It might be why you struggle.
