We're going to conquer MATH ^PHOBIA^.
Remember matphobia is a behavior. You do it, it's in your mind. Why? You're afraid.
What to do? You have to develop a counter disposition that ends up winning. A new math disposition. And it requires that you re-wire your math-rejecting brain into a math-proficient brain.
First: Get yourself a decent tutor. Do you have to pay? It's worth it
HOW TO DEVELOP A MATH-PROFICIENT BRAIN
1. Work always from the easy to the difficult. Never jump to a new topic without understanding the previous one. Math understanding is cumulative.
2. If you don't get it, take a break. Start all over. Don't ever throw the towel.
3. Do math little by little. DON'T RUSH.
4. Practice makes perfect. Move from easy to medium to difficult. Work, work, work.

5. Develop a relationship with your math teacher. Go to her office. Show her that you want to grow your skills. Ask her questions (teachers love a committed student).
Identify your math weaknesses: Fractions? algebra? analytic geometry? trigonometry? Revise your knowledge. Take it from the beginning. Word problems? Take it from the easy to the difficult. Don't quit.
