You can feel free by accepting the things that make you feel trapped. For many of us, our body is a prison. For others, it's work. For some, it's loneliness. Accepting some limitations can help you transcend them. Consider this also: even the good things in our lives can make us feel trapped at times, having kids, being in a relationship, having responsibility. Being totally free can also mean having an absence of many of the good things that add to our responsibilities but also make life worth living. No one is ever totally free. Therefore, be careful what you wish for.

When you realize what is trapping you. Are you placing limits on yourself? Alot of limits in our life are often self imposed. Noone can be your biggest supporter other than yourself.
Believe in yourself and life might feel less entrapping.

I have felt trapped a lot of my life, but once you believe that you are only trapped by the walls YOU build, can it start to get any better. Breathe. Calm down and evaluate things. Maybe talk with a trusted friend or family member. It helps to have people to support you. Realize you are not alone, and that it will get better, it just may take some time.

The more you talk it through with other people, the more you push to fight through it, the sooner you'll get out. That's really what we're here for, to help you realize what's weighing on you and maybe facilitate you getting the help you need or want.

Yes. Feelings do not last forever. However, it may take a long time to leave, and it may be a reoccurring feeling. You may find it helpful to identify why you feel trapped, list all the options you could possibly take to change it and then evaluate each, talk to someone about this, do things to pass the time or distract yourself, and/or try to find a new way to view the situation. I don't know what sort of action will help you in your particular situation, but those are things that have helped me at various times in the past. I hope things get better soon.

The only way that feeling leaves is when you discover where you are meant to be, and that you know you can get there.

You're feeling trapped because it's mind over matter. To be liberated and free you have to first put your mind in a way of thinking that is open to new and different things.
