Driving test tomorrow

The anxiety is already setting in for my driving test. Its tomorrow morning and I am scared worried anxious already all at once. I'm learning in an auto so that should make it a bit easier, I can't process doing gears and trying to figure everything else out all at once so thought auto would be easier for me and a lot less hassle.

I wasn't originally going to learn but to get to work and the shops it's three bus journeys and this causes me anxiety to especially when its dark. If the bus is late delayed it causes panic and I don't like the hisss it makes when it stops. That's what pushed me to learn to drive.

But now I'm panicking. I don't want to fail tomorrow or worst have a meltdown. I've gone over a lot of the tips today and watched a few videos but that little self doubt version of me is coming to the surface and leaving me with the feeling -- you're going to fail the test.

Wanted to vent this out.

  • Sorry you didn’t pass, you have the correct attitude and will succeed. I don’t know if you booked your test or your instructor but there is a box you can tick on the application to notify of special requirements. It  makes the examiner aware of your condition and just lets them know to give instructions in a very clear way and to allow a bit more time for you to process it. Also if anxiety is a problem, you may have anyone of your choice sit in the back of the car, they aren’t allowed to talk but can be there for moral support. I’m sure you won’t need any of this but I wanted you to know that it exists. Carry on learning, ( sounds like a film!) you will get there.
