There are many sites that can help you with your math anxiety. First, realize that not a day goes by that math instructors don't hear from students who have a hard time with math. They believe they are not good at it, and thus decide that they hate it. But it doesn't have to be that way! Wake up every morning and tell yourself that you can DO this. Your brain's job is to learn, and it knows how to learn just as your stomach knows how to digest food, but you have to believe it before you can make it happen. Constantly telling yourself that you hate and can't do it is not going to make things any easier, so STOP.
Consider this article from http://www.counseling.txstate.edu/resources/shoverview/bro/math.html. The following is some key information from this article.
Math anxiety does not have a single cause. Often math anxiety is the result of a student's negative or embarrassing experience with math or a math teacher in previous years. Such an experience can leave a student believing him or herself deficient in math ability. This belief can actually result in poor performance, which serves as confirming evidence to the student. This phenomenon is known as the self-fulfilling prophecy. Math anxiety results in poor performance rather than the reverse.
Math anxiety is a learned psychological response to math, which interferes with a student's ability to perform math. It is not a reflection of a student's true ability in math. There are a number of strategies a student can use to overcome the anxiety response. Some of the primary strategies are described here.
Students who fear math often avoid asking questions to save embarrassment, sit in the back of the classroom, fail to seek help from the professor, and usually put off studying math until the last moment. All of these negative behaviors are intended to reduce the student's anxiety but actually result in more intense anxiety. There are a number of positive behaviors, which actually help the student learn and perform better in math classes. First, sit near the front of the class where you will experience fewer distractions and feel more a part of what is being discussed. Second, if you have questions, ask! Rest assured that you are not the only one who has the same question you want to ask. Don't be afraid to seek help from your professor after class or during office hours. Third, prepare! Read the textbook material before it is discussed in class. Do the problems. Math skill comes from practice and repetition. Finally, after class, review the material covered again.
