Accidentally Learning German without Memorizing the Artikeln

It has taken me ages to ask this question because I feel lkke it is so embarassing.

So, I have learned German off and on my whole life. My oma is from Germany, German was my dad's first language. So, I grew up around it, I took several classes, etc. About 10 years ago, I visited family and was completely immersed and everyone was very sweet to me as I spoke my scrappy German and they understood me (mostly). I will say that was probably the fastest I ever learned and even started dreaming in German for the first time. Over COVID I got super invested in German learning again but came across a super embarrassing problem:

Because a lot of my learning has been through talking and like too-basic classes (and I have ADHD, I just want to get out there and get talking) I ended up rushing through memorizing the genders of words. So, i basically just dont know the genders and guess while speaking.

I have been worried it will be too hard to go back and memorize all the genders all over again. I just feel so overwhelmed by the concept that I just wouldn't even know where to begin.

Any advice?
