Driving

So I’ve been passed a few months and I have the worst driving anxiety. I learned it drive in a Mercedes A class and it was diesel had reverse cameras, hill assist and an electric handbreak. I then went to my car which is a petrol golf doesn’t have any of the things the car I learnt in did and it’s just so different to drive I have to use revs to set off I absolutely avoid hills to the point I will go the long way round because I stall and I think people been behind me makes it worse I just massively overthink which probably doesn’t do me any favours. Don’t get me wrong I don’t stall everytime especially if there is nobody behind me but the anxiety I get when I come to a hill even an incline is absolutely awful. I never had any issues in my instructors car also parking Since passing I’ve only forward bay parked I won’t even attempt to do any of the others because I’ve learnt with a camera I don’t know what To without one it just makes going anywhere so stressful and sometimes avoid going places because of it. It just really gets me down because I put so much effort into learning to drive so I could take the kids out more and im finding im not driving places because of the anxiety. Does anyone else relate or have any tips to overcome I feel like I should have learnt without the cameras and hill assist so I actually learnt properly but I didn’t realise at the time it was going to be so different in my own car. Sorry for the rant

Could you go to a car park when it's quiet and practice? Is there anyone who is willing to come with you and help out? Practice is key 😊
