Why not try stalling another aircraft to get your confidence up? If you stall say a PA28, you'll find that the stall characteristics are completely different to a Cessna. The cessna likes to drop a wing, the PA28's don't. You can hold a PA28 fully stalled for 20 seconds easily (altitude permitting of course ) just using small rudder inputs to remain level.

As you progress through flight training, you find that "normal" intentional stalls are nothing to worry about, if you're with an instructor and you spin, he/she will recover. If you can't see forward look at the wingtip, this will tell you pitch,yaw and roll, and you'll feel the buffet. As long as you're co-ordinated and don't use the aeilerons you'll be fine, if a wing drops, rather than trying to pick the wing up with the rudder, recover from the stall then pick the wing up. Use rudder to remain coordinated during the manouvre and it is unlikely a wing will drop too drastically.

Good luck
