If you have a math-savvy person in your circles, it might be a good idea to set up a chat with them. I think a good beginning point would be to identify a specific problem or concept that you've encountered that gave you some difficulty, and then talk it through with them.
In my experience as a mathematician, it is not always easy to identify the source of frustration in a problem. Having a different perspective can be really helpful. (Also in my experience as a math educator, a shockingly large proportion of problems stem from fractions, exponentials, and logarithms --- or not knowing what a function is.)
