    Having a mini panic attack today - help me

    I have third driving test tomorrow and all day today I have been feeling sick all weekend.
    I really don't want to do it, every part of me is telling me to cancel it.
    I feel like there is so much pressure on me, I feel all the usual panic attack symptoms; sweaty palms, nausea and a general feeling of being tense and uneasy.
    I really need to drive and I can but last test I only got 5 minors and drove perfectly throughout the entire test and the examiner failed me on "not looking at a roundabout and making someone behind us brake" it was abit unfair if I'm honest as I saw a gap and went for it, the driver behind wasn't close at all.
    Do you think its worth me cancelling? I really don't want to have a breakdown on the day?

    I agree with Thumbalina. I once read a book called 'feel the fear and do it anyway' It is the anticipation of it happening that is scaring you. If you cancel at late notice I am not sure if you will lose your money? Try to be positive in thinking about tomorrow, tell yourself you can do it. I will be thinking about you tomorrow and this time i hope you pass but even if you don't, you will have tried and done your best! xx

    The test is today and I feel really on edge, I am convinced I will fail and I can feel the symptoms of a panic attack coming on..sweaty and tingly palms, numb face etc
    I really really don't want to do this

    Ohhhhhh bless, I'd say go 4 it because once its done it's done you will not have to do it again! Obviously if u have a full blown panic attack before hand don't go out in a state before uve even taken the test BUT if u can hang on in there and some what calm your symptoms go for it seriously- one its done it's done!

    Good luck
