Well, we all felt like that to a degree. Yet, here I am 3000+ dives later. In the beginning "staying alive" seems like the only priority but believe it or not, as you master the skills, relax even a bit, it does become easier. But progress CAN NOT BE RUSHED. That is what causes accidents. My advice would be to don gear, go into the pool, go down slowly clearing your ears before you feel the need, and then just sit there. Feel your body in the water. Maybe be slightly over weighted in the beginning. It is worth it and the skills after a lot of diving become second nature. Just my two cents worth.
