If you find it too tedious to self-study on your own (there are books for this purpose), then you can consider taking a trig or calc course at a local community college. Just think of it as a temporary hobby.

Or go for one of these gamified math tutorials.

For instance: this one teaches geometric proofs without mentioning the formalism, just letting you "unlock" the tools from a few "axiom" starter tools.

This is very nicely done. I run a training group and I will use this for my students. Thank you for posting this resource.
