On your issue; I'd mention your nervousness to the instructor before you
fly again. One thing that might help you is to remember what I've said
here in this answer as you walk out to the airplane. It's THIS
relationship you want with your own instructor. If this one isn't giving
it to you, get one who does.

At least for the foreseeable future I've decided to put my lessons on
hold. *After 5 days I'm still pretty rattled by the whole experience
and I simply no longer look forward to it as I did before the
discovery flight. *I think I'm probably wound too tight, not
necessarily to take the lessons and get the license, but for the
inevitable emergency that will at some point take place while I'm in
the cockpit.

Bitterly disappointed really, I plan on getting some help for the
bigger issue which is my nervousness and fear.

Thanks all for your suggestions, I just don't think this is for me
anymore.

Well that is your choice of course but I think your self doubt is
unwarrented. View it as a mountain to climb. From on top you will see
everything more clearly and I hope to see you up there! Pick a nice
calm day and go for a flight with another instructor -please!

Cheers
