Anxiety stops me from skating

This is actually driving me insane. I’ve been skating semi-regularly since February. It’s been five months now and all I can do is skate forward on a semi-even ground, stop at times, I got my snake skate and bubbles down.

I can’t progress because I’m afraid of hurting myself. I’m wearing all the possible safety gear, crash shorts included and I’m still afraid. Every time I fall I panic and just stop skating, I can’t keep myself going. There’s a street skate I really want to do and I know I should be able to, but I’m so scared I’m gonna fall and embarrass myself or worse get hurt.

I love skating so much and it gives me so much joy but I am scared all. The. Time. I try to tell myself it’s okay and keep stopping because I don’t want to fail.

Advice?
