I'm very glad you found my reply useful!
If you're set on continuing to teach yourself physics (which I think is a very good, though time-consuming idea), I'd start by making sure you're on top of your high school/A-Level maths and physics (KhanAcademy is a great place for this), and then move onto some first-year university introductory textbooks. You don't have to read them back to front -- start with the first chapter, take your time, do the exercises, and when you get bored switch to a different book. (I really like Griffiths' textbooks, but YMMV.)
A good search term is "introduction to [topic]" or "introductory [topic] textbooks". Good topics to start with would be classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics. You could then move onto special relativity and statistical physics (my favourite!).
