I'm too scared to perform Salah anymore

Assalamu alaikum, I'm really overthinking about the pronunciation of the letters in Salah. I used to practice a lot in the past, but I had to stop because I became obsessed to the point it was harmful. For the past year or so, I've been praying comfortably and didn't continue practicing pronunciation because with my waswasa I thought it's best not to go back. Now, I feel like I did the wrong thing. I'm terrified to pray because I didn't practice to get the letters perfect, I did try so much before but just couldn't. I don't remember the exact makhraj of some even though I've been Muslim for 2 years. Should I practice all of this before Salah or just pray? I'm not like other people; if I start practicing it burns me out and I obsess over recitation. Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Brother, just pray. Allah looks at your heart, not perfect tajweed. Waswasa is a trap-ignore it. Even born Muslims mess up letters sometimes. Keep it simple and sincere.

My brother, this waswasa will destroy you if you let it. Pray immediately, even with mistakes. Gradually, you’ll improve without burning out. I’ve seen many with same issue.
