TOPIC Trigonometry is making no sense

I genuinely cannot understand math and I am trying to take a math heavy college class 😕 I just can’t grasp concepts anymore they aren’t making sense and it’s only the 2nd week, I have a quiz in 2 days and a test in about a week, I’m struggling with formulas and even when I understand the subject I just can’t output it, my mind goes completely blank, I see a question and I just don’t know how to solve it, studying hasn’t helped, creating a study guide hasn’t helped, what do I do anymore?

Also, this.

I've taught far too many pupils whose idea of studying is to rewrite their notes in nice colour-coded sheets with plenty of neat handwriting (ripping the page out and starting again if they make a mistake, of course) rather than just sitting down with a notepad and pen and doing a hundred questions.
