When will this feeling of being trapped ever leave me?

All feelings, even this one, come and go. Happiness and contentment is not an end goal. You need the low to appreciate the high, keep your head up. Occupy yourself with things you enjoy and don't be afraid to reach out for help. You deserve to get yourself the best care possible.

when you start focusing on what makes you happy and then working towards that goal. forget about your anxiety for once

By understanding the root of feeling, accepting it and than replacing the trapped feeling by some positive action in your life. Good positive actions in life are helping others, doing job you love, pick some creative hobby etc.

When you love your life so completely, you notice the little moments everyday, and smile when you do see them.

However you're feeling is ok to feel. Thoughts of feeling trapped are consuming. It can feel like you're drowning, every single day. I would suggest to find distractions if possible. Your thoughts will not win.

It will leave you I don’t know when but I know it will and you won’t feel trapped any more.

When did it begin? Can you describe the feeling? How do you behave when the feeling intensifies and does it ever almost leave you? Usually when people say that they feel stuck or trapped it is because we are either indecisive or generally don't know what we want to do or become. The feeling usually leaves us when we find what fulfills us and what we want to be(come) and it can be as simple as "I want to find a way to make at least one person smile every other day/week"

I'm absolutely sure it will leave you. It will although take a lot of courage and work from you side to overcome this difficult time in your life. It can help to chat with someone on this site or a person you trust.

It may lift once you understand what it is that making you feel trapped and freeing yourself. Feeling trapped doesn't mean you are trapped

If you allow yourself to be trapped and do not tell anyone or open up then you trap yourself inside you. But if you open up and let someone in to help you then you will feel free and open so when you allow yourself to open up then you won't feel trapped anymore.

Feelings of being trapped leave when you go out of your comfort zone and do things you never thought you would. For me, this would be talking to people when I have horrible social anxiety, and feeling trapped is a familiar feeling that isn't easy to get out of, but it's something we all need to master in some areas of our life.

once you figure out why/ and how you are feeling like that and what you can do about it, and seek help from people like me who want to help and have knowledge

When you realise that you can try to change your situation. Improve it, and if you really can't, leave it. Take the action. Be courageus.

The feeling of being trap won’t ever last. You will be free. You just have to help yourself find the key. I’ve spent everyday feeling the walls of my head close in on me without seeing that I was I never trapped. I was just too scared to fix it and felt like there was no way out cause I didn’t know how to get myself out of what I was going through. But I was more then capable to see all the ways to open my mind and see all the things I can achieve and see happen to make me feel alive in my life. The amount of time it takes will never matter. You just have to keep trying and pushing the walls away. You have to know and believe you’re strong enough. You won’t feel trapped forever. You were never trapped to begin with.

It will only leave your when you decide that you don't want to be trapped and make an attempt to come out.

This feeling won't leave you, but you can forget that feeling. These feeling comes back when something triggers you but, you can just move on and think of positive thoughts.

Maybe never. Maybe tomorrow. You have to learn to cope with it through mindfulness exercises. I feel trapped everyday and I fear it will never go away. But the will to live is stronger than giving up. That said, try mindfulness exercises. Seriously.

I think you need to start from the top. What is causing you to feel trapped? How long have you felt this way? Is it you, or others around you that are causing you to feel this? Ask questions, make a list, and find answers to each one. Once you find out what is causing you to feel this way, find a way to stop it.

You know what? Let the feeling of being trapped truly travel. Communicate with another human being instead of struggling with it alone. At first it is so scary and shameful to share about a negative feeling that you feel embarrassed to speak up about. But, courage to let yourself out there and not be afraid to talk about negative people and negative feelings in your life is truly a life changing moment. You will be able to handle your stress better and avoid negative influences in your life. You will not feel pressured to feel that way without your consent or permission. You will discover a voice within you that is strong for a right reason.

I don't know. it depends on the person and the situation but with help from friends, family, therapy or helplines you will get through it. I think the first step is talking about it, telling someone how you feel is proven to be effective in making people feel better because you are not keeping all your emotions and feeling inside. some of the most common things to do when feeling trapped are to focus on you and what makes you happy and to follow your passion. feeling trapped usually comes from feeling anxious or depressed. so you have to push away all the negative thing in your life and just take a second to breathe and relax. remember, although it may not feel like it, you are in control of your life.

I've personally felt this way but it's only when I found myself and saw what I had lost, I reached out to family and what friend I had left and they helped me get away from my room and showed me I can do so much more & show me I wasn't alone. Don't be afraid to ask for help! In my situation it was a man making me feel mentally trapped, he convinced me the world was out to get me and when I did go out, I had to be with him at all times. That's no life to live.

(((hugs))) I really wish someone could look into the future and tell you when you will feel less trapped. You already know that this is not possiable and that we all go through life and its experences as different rates. One day at a time, sometimes one moment at a time. Mindfulness may be of help to you, to help yo be in the present and to feel okay about being in the present. I personally find reading back over my diary helps me see how I have moved on from darker days. I am not perfect right now but I am in a different place in my life and that it okay!

Feeling trapped is a very common feeling, especially among those with anxiety or depression. When you can't see an immediate solution to a problem or way out of a situation, it's easy to feel trapped and like you will never move on. It's important to remember that there are always options, even if they haven't been revealed to you yet. You can try talking to a trusted friend or family member about how you're feeling, and their outside perspective may help you to look at the situation in a different way. When necessary, it can be good to move on and allow change in your life so you can be happier and more in control.

If feeling trapped stems from something significant that happened to you it's understandable to still feel it even after some time has passed. If nothing in your current situation is contributing to those feelings it might help to use your surroundings to remind yourself that you are not trapped and that it's just a feeling that's haunting you. It's important to remember that what you are feeling is normal for what you have been through and that as long as you keep trying to move forward things should get better with time. Just take things one day at a time and try to keep your perspective.

Feeling trapped is a trap itself :) The mind is so strong (sometimes even underestimated) that it can usually make up stories & scenarios since it does not know anything other than what we feed it. It has data and information about how we respond to several situations and from these it draws out a great picture of our life which can look like a trap for us. It doesn't know right or wrong, it only know comfort zone & safety. Our brain can make us feel stuck, useless, stupid.... But it can also make us feel strong, powerful, giving, useful and that nothing can ever bring us down 😊 So switching our thoughts & finally taking control of our mind makes a huge difference on how we perceive things as well as how we respond to things 🌼 You are the captain of your life, your mind is just a -sometimes great- helper 😉👍

I can’t tell you if it will ever stop, but I can suggest that you assess the causes (if any) of feeling that way. Do you think your feelings arise from material concerns, like not being independent or not having your own source of income, or do your feelings arise from an emotional state that doesn’t depend on material circumstances? In other words, can you change anything to make yourself feel less trapped, or is it something that eats away at you no matter what you do? If it is the first option, then brainstorm ways to get out of the bad situation. I’m sorry I can’t offer more advice about this first option because there could be so many different answers. But if it is the second option, then try and change your relationship to the feeling of being trapped. Yes, it will likely always feel unpleasant, but is it possible to sit with the feeling and just allow it to exist inside you? If you can’t change it, then it might help to make some kind of peace with it. In Buddhist philosophy, feeling bad about your emotions is known as the ‘second arrow.’ The first arrow to strike you is the feeling of being trapped; the second arrow is one you shoot into yourself by hating that feeling and thus making yourself suffer more. If possible, try to just focus on the feeling of the first arrow without introducing the second arrow. While we must change our physical surroundings if they are hurting us, we might also realize how emotional aversion to those surroundings causes more suffering. Easier said than done, I know, but this practice might give you more peace than you had before.

Yes, this uncomfortable feeling of being trapped will leave you eventually. All feelings are, by nature, temporary. Having said that, if it persists for a longer period of time, you need to ask yourself, what is the uncomfortable factor in your situation, what would you like to be "freed" from? Feelings are our inner signals, they tell you if something is right or wrong - so try and see it as a useful signal instead of trying to push the feeling away. Whatever the issue behind this feeling is, it can be resolved; some of such resolutions require effort on your part, some may require taking risks, and some you just have to give time for them to be resolved. Try and recognize what you can change in your situation now, and the things that cannot be changed instantly will just need your patience. But always remember, that both feelings and situations are temporary. There's hope.

Give yourself plenty of time. Be kind to yourself. Everything has a natural path of breaking down and healing. Remember to stop when your feeling overwhelmed and take a moment for self care. Breathing, riding a bike, reading a book, calling a friend, going for a walk all can help you find that moment of peace when you feel trapped. You are not alone in this feeling many many people have anxiety at some point of their life. It is positive to find alternative outlets many find that engaging others helpsto bring positive perspective to one's outlook. Many Blessings.

People often feel trapped when they don't know what to do or which path to follow. It's a negative emotion. Only one person knows the answer to that. That person is you. You know best what you are passionate about. The feeling of being trapped might come from the job, a relationship or even from the same routine of pain or sadness you go through every day on one hand. But on the other one you can't seem to let go because you might fear the unknown. It's important to know when to walk away or set yourself and your mind free.

Unfortunately our feelings are very unique to us as an individual and therefore it can be difficult to ascertain when we move on from feelings of being trapped- one size does not fit all. If may be useful to look at why you feel like you are trapped. It could be down to past experiences for example you may feel trapped in the past after making a mistake. Once you identify the root cause, you will then be better equipped to address how to go about moving on. Just remember time is a healer and there are always people out there who are willing to listen and help.
