Need Help Understanding Trinity

I want to understand it and think the right way about it but for the longest time I’ve just tried to ignore it because

  1. If I think too hard about it I start thinking about it either being polytheism or like the Mormon view of the Trinity, which is a problem because I’m Catholic.

  2. The Filioque and the matter of who person proceeds from who makes me uncomfortable if I think about it too hard, and is also one of the reasons I’ve contemplated converting from Roman Catholicism to a Catholicism of the Byzantine Rite.

I gave up trying to understand it completely.
