Been doing really well lately with my driving and have been told I’m test ready but this evening I had trouble joining a dual carriageway and now I feel like I want to give up

Coming on to the slip road there were 2 cars in front of me who were close together and not gaining much speed and a car really close behind me.

I wanted to fall back a bit to create some space between me and the cars in front so I could then gain speed to merge in once they were further ahead but the car behind was so close I couldn’t brake/slow enough to create the gap between me and the cars in front so I just had to keep going

The cars already on the motorway were moving at usual speeds but all very close togeth

I’m really trying to deal with this better but I still find myself struggling which then affects my driving.

I feel quite anxious when other drivers are driving behind me closely, even when I’m doing the speed limits it seems they have no patience and just get annoyed and want to make me speed up. I try to ignore them and have got slightly better but it is still something I struggle with.

I can go out with my partner to practise my driving but the one thing putting me off is other drivers.

I’ve done 8 hours with my instructor, and completed a mock test. I failed the mock due to speed, but if I get that under control it would have been a pass. I think this all comes from feeling anxious

I am hoping maybe for some advice that have helped others going through or who have been through this experience, and to just clear my head by writing it out.

I am currently learning to drive. I have had several lessons around 10 years ago, I then stopped but have started again this month.

My first lesson with my instructor 2 weeks ago went well, and he said my driving is fine and we will just be working on getting me test ready.

I am insured on my partners car as a learner for extra practise and my instructor said he is happy with my driving and has no problem with me going on the roads with my partner, which I have done twice so far.

We went on another drive tonight, and apart from

I’ve been taking antibiotics for 2 days now but my tonsils are still getting worse - although I understand it probably takes longer than 2 days to start working.

I am just concerned as my tonsils look different to previous times I’ve had tonsillitis and looks like they have black patches on one.

I keep going hot and cold, and my skin feels prickly when touched. My voice has gone really weird, swollen neck and struggling to swallow.

I will post a picture in the comments as it won’t let me attached. I just want to see if this looks normal for tonsillitis

Please and thanks!

I can’t stop overthinking and whenever I try to relax past memories of maybe embarrassing moments pop in to my mind and I sit there thinking and getting anxious.

Today I did make a mistake when crossing the road. There was no car coming my way and my partner had already crossed and told me to run across, I didn’t really think and just run however halfway across I noticed a vehicle coming the other direction and sort of stopped, hesitated and continued running. I made it across and the driver beeped etc. However, I can’t stop overthinking about how much worse it could have been, it’s embarrassing I was so stupid and then I’m thinking silly things about how maybe he had a dash cam and will no
