Math was my worst subject in school, but now that I'm graduated, i feel an indescribable urge to learn calculus.
I got brain age for the nintendo DS and it got me thinking i could actually rev up the math side of me brain.

Start with small problems and work your way up, try buying math books from a community college in their book store, or amazon.com. Math is learned by solving one problem at a time.

I applaud your "indescribable urge to learn calculus"
My first advice to have a mantra. Something like: "Math is not impossible. I can do it, if I put myself to it." or "Math is fun, even if I suck at it". It works for me.
I can't recommend a website (because I generally distrust them), but I do recommend going to the library or better yet, get a friend who can help.
Next. Practice Practice Practice. As my mom always says, you can't learn math lying down.
Finally, enjoy it. Reward yourself every time you get the answer right. In no time you'll find that most questions are just variations of others and that there is a pattern.
Good luck! I really hope you enjoy it!

You don't need to get mad with your 'inability' to learn math. Some people can learn faster while some do it slower. There is nothing wrong with that. Different people has different capability. But if you want to learn calculus, it's good.
Learn the basic concepts and formula. You need to memorize some formula, because even if you can derive them from other formula, it's very complicated. Memorizing will help you a lot. Find good calculus books with lots of problems & solutions inside, then try to solve the problems according to your progress. Find a good teacher or a friend who can help you.
You must remember: Learn gradually, because you cannot jump to advanced part before you understand basic part. Do it with your own pace. Keep practising. Practice makes perfect. Don't forget to mark your progress & celebrate your success! Cheers!
