You won't believe it would leave. Feeling trapped is not similar to feeling angry or casual sadness. Feeling trapped may seem "situational", so does any feeling in this world, but the starnge thing that trapped people often feel is a sense of helplessness. If you are feeling trapped, one failed effort can lead you to believe that making effort isn't worthwhile at the moment, and then making effort isn't worthwhile, and then making effort isn never worthwhile. Each step is virtually possible, but once you take it too far, it would become problematic. Therefore, you do want some companionship or some cheerful voice to help you go through this. Please reach out for the most suitable people.

There is no saying when . It could never go away , but then it also could its all about waiting and time . Feeling trapped is a horrible feeling and it's hard to shake off and the feeling will never go away forever because that's not how life works . So there is not a time or anything it will take a while but if your willing to wait and see if it' ll go away for awhile . you have to learn to have hope and faith and sometimes it hard to have but not imposible .

You have to first admit, that you're trapped and that you need to find a way out and probably seek help in doing so. Communication is key to yourself, to those that are making you feel trapped, and to those that will be helping you. You need to understand why others do things that make you feel trapped and they need to understand why you feel trapped. You also need to find a way to express yourself freely without any hesitation (dancing, cooking, writing, exercising, etc.), which will help you feel free. After you've been able to find a path that you can escape through, you have to stick with it, and though it may be slow, remember that you'll eventually be free.

You can only change the feeling of being trapped when you put things in a different mindset. Until then, trapped. I am sorry if that is not what you want to hear? The truth is that feeling trapped is something many go through. We should always try to overcome it though. No one is fully trapped, there is always a choice of actions. Perhaps to help you know when you will not feel trapped you could write a list of positive things about you, and about your life. That way when the darker thoughts are taking over you can look at it. I would suggest that is like a bar of chocolate in the mind. Addiction traps, too much time on the internet traps, but if you are strong you can overcome anything you choose.

The feeling of being trapped will leave you when you will start loving yourself for the person you are and not be affected by what people think of you. You need somebody who understands you so that you can vent your feelings out to them. welling up so much inside you and carrying all this on your shoulders, all by yourself will only make it hard. Try talking to somebody so that you can feel a bit at ease. If you think you don't have anyone to talk to, 7cups has trained active listeners who can help you out and be there for you

When you experience true freedom, try finding what makes you genuinely happy, free and careless, don’t live up to society’s expectations. Try a new hobby maybe, dancing, singing, acting, swimming ... you can pour your emotions in them, and try mediation, it’s helpful. Take deep breaths, remind yourself of the blessings you’ve been gifted, pray, praying helps so much in finding freedom and self worth. Stop trying to live up to everyone’s expectations if you are. Do you, you’re just as different, unique and special as everyone else. I hope that you will find your inner peace and you’re freedom one day, all the love.

There's no right answer to this. Everyone experiences feelings differently and feeling trapped is very normal. It may seem endless, but every single day is a small step forward; and any step forward is a step towards progress. Day by day, things will slowly get better, even if it doesn't feel like it. So while there is no set time for certain feelings to pass, remember that it will pass. Continue to put one foot in front of the other and sooner or later, you will get to your destination. Any progress, no matter how small or large, is progress.

I'm not sure when, but I know it will. At least in my experience, I've been feeling down pretty much for years. I felt like there was no direction in my life and I didn't really care about anything and that feeling had become something normal for me. But something changed one day when I decided that I didn't want to feel this way anymore, and I wanted to feel better. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but maybe it has to do with taking care of myself. I decided to do what was best for me, even if it might be hard at times. It made me feel really different and I actually felt like I had a future after all. I felt like there were actually dreams and goals I wanted to achieve (they were small, but it was a start). It feels so good to actually have hope. So yes, I'm certain the feeling will leave. How long it will take, I cannot say, but I guess you could start by taking care of yourself. You deserve it :) I hope it was helpful and I wish you all the best!!

The moment when you will start breaking your barriers and accepting things you can't change, you'll set yourself free. That's when you'll stop feeling trapped. Complete acceptance of yourself and your situation is the first step. The second step is to identify the things and situations that you can change about yourself and your surrounding. Third step is to figure out what changes you can make to become better. And last step is to implement those changes. You feel stuck when you stop flowing, you feel trapped, not because you're physically trapped but because your own mind, your own thoughts have trapped you. Understanding this plays a key role to setting yourself free.
