When I was 17, like all my friends I started driving lessons. I absolutely dreaded them. I felt incredibly anxious and out of control, I never felt I was learning anything. My driving instructor got sick (probably stress!) and my lessons abruptly ended. I never continued as almost all my friends hit the milestone. 

I am now in my mid-30's and incredibly embarrassed about not being able to drive. It would make my life so much easier if I did and I could stop people bringing it up every time they see me. My little nephew is about to start his lessons because he "doesn't want to be like me" and this humiliates me. 

I think my brain struggles to take information about spacial awareness. I cannot get my head round the logistics of how a car works. I never feel in control behind the wheel and feel like my brain gets into a fluster and panics meaning that I don't feel safe. I was 5 minutes away from booking my lesson a minute ago, but held off. 

I need help. I want to conquer this. I need to prove that I can to myself and to my family. Any advice from anybody in a similar situation or with similar experience then I'm all ears.
