Thanks for your wise suggestions, but I am still going to stop before entering. It takes a few seconds to check your surroundings. Not a big deal.

I often drive in foreign countries, and in areas of my own where I do not know the roads as well as locals or directions etc. and mangae quite competently, but as I said in another post, if you find navigating a roundabout far to stressful and complicated, why are you still driving?
Apart from yielding to enter if needed, the lane discipline is the same as at any crossroad or T junction, so you will probably get confused, stressed etc. at them as well.
Time to give up the license.
