hi,

I have been taking driving lessons for a long time (since before covid so on and off due to lockdowns) and driving itself makes me anxious but I have wanted to drive for a long time (I am 36 years old now).  Next week I have my second driving test (failed first one) and I am so nervous/anxious I feel sick. I worry about it before I fall asleep and at times during the day. 

I am booked in for a lesson today and I have about an hour practice before the test. I have no one to help me practice outside of these lessons.

I feel like the nerves are part of what made me fail last time as it made it harder to focus etc. 

I don't know what to do to help ease this feeling, my stomach is in knots already and I still have 6 days to go. I am so close to cancelling and moving the test to a different time but I honestly think it would be the same no matter how much practice I have before it. My instructor assures me I am ready and I can generally drive fine during the lessons but when I have to drive myself I feel I just get so worked up.
