So sadly I failed my drivers test, so going to a thrift store a few cities away isn't happening, but I'm still going on a trip and I want some decent girl clothes to wear while I'm with friends who affirm me.

What part of the test was toughest? I drive a significant amount professionally for work shuttling customers. If there is something you have issues with in particular I may be able to offer advice.

Sadly it was just I did 3 highly dangerous actions due to nervousness and failed to yield nearly hitting a car. It was 100% cause I was a nervous.

Try practicing deep breathing in your stomach. On top of that there are many different things you can try, different things work for different people. I count to 100 over and over. Talking to yourself in your head can help, examine what is going on and tell yourself it's okay.

Oh my god I'm so sorry this message never actually popped up for me! What makes you most nervous when driving? Is it the actual control of the vehicle, or what's happening around you? Both are very solvable but one has a much easier fix than the other, though both end up in the same place honestly.

Been struggling with this topic myself, and settled for lowering my values. 🤷‍♀️ guess I'll sit this one out.

I'd say check the used market on ebay. Due to shipping, you'll probably only find expensive/fancy clothes but it might be worth a shot.
