The answer

If you uttered the divorce pronouncement while in a state of extreme anger that made you lose awareness, then your divorce is not effective; otherwise, it is effective.

If you repeated the word of divorce intending to repeat it, it counts as three. However, if you intended emphasis or had no specific intention, it counts as only one.

Some scholars are of the opinion that a triple divorce does not take effect if it occurs consecutively before a return (to the marital relationship) or a new marriage contract, but rather counts as one.

It is best to present the issue to the Sharia court or to trustworthy scholars in your country.
