When they were still in elementary school, I pulled my two sons out of school to homeschool them. My oldest hated math because of his negative school experiences. My only goal was to teach him "math is your friend." I eventually succeeded.

So it is possible to get past this, if you want.

I had my sons play math based games, read math books full of paragraphs and not problems, and so on. You might try engaging in math as recreation. Read books like "The Number Devil" and "Alice in Flatland" and "The cartoon guide to statistics" (or any cartoon guide book ever on any subject, because they are all basically awesome) and "How to lie with statistics."

Try to figure out what pieces make you stressed and look for a way to fix that piece of it. For example, if it is about dealing with people face to face, then email them an answer. Something like that can help break the pattern of stress and help you reboot your emotional relationship to the subject.

Best of luck.
