Hey, I'm too scared of maths, to the extent that it makes me cry the moment I open my books for CAT. It also induced fear of LRDI; the moment I see graphs and numbers, I freak out. Is there any way I could become friends with maths?
I will believe that you are afraid of maths after you do the following and then post this again:

Every time you mention it to someone, you silently reinforce that thought in yourself, which does not help matters, does it? I mean, come to think of it, did it help you get better at Math? It did not.
So, you are better off saying, "Well, okay, I did not have a good relationship with Math during my school days, but this is my opportunity to turn it around". It's the way you look at it; you are looking at it as a problem; I'm looking at it as an opportunity for you to learn to do Math differently.
And that's the way it should be done. You are not learning Math to write your school exam; your objective here is to crack one of the toughest exams in the country. So, trying to apply the same old techniques that you learned in school is like bringing a knife to a gunfight! Period! You have to learn methods and techniques to improve efficiency and effectiveness on tests like the CAT.
Of course, there is no taking away the fact that you have to know your concepts; they are the foundation. But the foundation is not the whole building itself, so you need to learn tricks, shortcuts and strategies to help utilise the foundation better.
You should also learn to take baby steps instead of trying to win the war in a day. Right now, in your brain, you are thinking too broadly - Math, LRDI - and, naturally, you are getting overwhelmed. Instead, why don't you look at improving your knowledge of Numbers, basic algebraic identities - consume the content in bite-sized chunks.
And remember, it's not about a complete 180-degree turnaround from being scared of Math to becoming its close friend. It's about finding that middle path and saying, "Hey, I know a lot about you, but I'd want to find out more".
I hope that helps! All the best with your prep.
Please follow the below steps:
Try to learn to solve each type of questions differently. Dont try to solve all of the different types at once. Each type of question has a different method to solve them. Some even have short cut methods to solve them, but you can only find those methods when you solve only one type of problem at one time and try to excel in them.

In fact, CAT is such an exam that you don't even have to learn any formula; you can easily derive them there themselves. About graphs, once you understand it properly, you'll be surprised to know how easy the problem becomes through the graphical approach.
All the best!
