Driving test in the morning

Hi I have my driving test tomrrrow morning and I can't cope thinking about it at all . Iv been learning for ten years ! So I can drive but when I have my tests I get so scared and worked up that I think I'm going to have a panic attack and then my head goes I can't think and stop the car pull over and cry ! Just because it's too much pressure . I'm no scared of failing at all I'm just really scared of how nervous I'm going to be and also if I fail which I think is going to happen it's once again letting every one down . I was in such a state this morning that In was close to cancelling . Has any one been in this situation before and got any tips on how I can get through this ? Thankyou ❤️

There is no shortage of test slots. If you don't pass, you'll have another go. Just try to treat it as another mock run. You're not letting anyone down. You're just going for a drive. For you.

And repeat.

Agree with Serf but also you might like to try these.To calm yourself take deep breaths in and let them out slowly, go for a walk before the test rather than sit worrying or anything that normally you know you feel calm doing. Good luck having taken so long to get my licence in a new country the really nice receptionist high fived me when I passed I sympathies🤞

You have my sympathy, I will have to take a driving test in the country I have moved to and I am not looking forward to it at all, I was pretty surprised I passed my UK test. But you aren't letting anyone down, perhaps plan in your head when the next test would take place so it is just one in a series. Be clear that you will get there one day and it doesn't have to be tomorrow.

Thankyou all for your kind replies ❤️ I did manage to get a good 4 hours sleep more than I have managed all week 😂 my stomach is turning so bad and I got the palpations already . I had my test a few years back but didn't have anxiety issues at all then so I was worried but nothing at all
Like this . Doesn't help that my instructor only had two of us left and if I pass he is going to retire if not he's just stuck with me then . I shall let you all know how I get off Thankyou x
