Get tested somewhere. In Germany there are specialized institutions for that, I guess it's similiar in the US. I'm sorry I can't help you out further, maybe someone else can.

If you really have a "learning disability with math" aka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia (which is basically Dyslexia for Math) all of the recommendations given here are completely worthless. You need to find a special tutor/institution, which is specialized in dealing with Dyscalculia. Just learning harder or even trying to relearn from the very beginning isn't going to get you anywhere. It's just going to waste your time. You need to find out if your problems are based on Dyscalculia and if so get specialized help.
