Feeling trapped is perfectly normal, rather if it's a physical feeling of being trapped in a certain space or the feeling of being trapped in a phase or your life. Either way, feelings aren't permanent so it'll get better eventually! In the meantime I encourage you to talk to me in a private 1 on 1 chat to help you with this feeling. Best luck!

As soon as you stop trapping the feeling it will flee from your mind and will leave you until you reach for it again.

I've found that feeling trapped comes from having constant problems and conflicts around you. When you start working through them, either by solving them or simply cutting toxic things out of your life, you will feel more and more free of this trapped feeling. It may never truly go away, but by learning how to deal with the conflicts around you and cancelling them out, you'll feel a lot better. A key tip is to allow yourself time to work out all the problems; don't rush into anything!

The feeling of being trapped will minimize once you start taking action against it. You feel trapped because your life is not moving forward, not going in the direction you picture for yourself or in comparison with other people around you. Often times, people tend to trap themselves because they're too afraid or get used to the old ways or too lazy. About being trapped, it only takes dedication to change. But The only thing that will truly cure is if you take a step front to where you're happy. If it's too hard to do it alone, seek help from your friends and family or us 7 cupers. :)

We can get away with the feeling of being trapped. We can begin with thinking positive, telling ourselves that we are free. We really are!! We all have the power to stay positive! But it requires a little effort into tricking our minds to take it away from negative thoughts.

When you change your environment sufficiently enough, and when your brain has healed from the harm it was in from the previous environment, the trapped feeling will fade away to a distant memory. However while you are still in a "familiar" environment with your "normal" surroundings.. you will usually be triggered by different things and thus refreshing your wounds.

Feeling trapped can be an overwhelming, and often unbearable feeling - one that is conveyed by the word itself. Whether you feel trapped in your job, a relationship, or just in your emotions, it may seem like you will never again be "free" of the turmoil. But very often, it can take only one other person with a constructive, outside perspective to help you get through it. Think about it this way: how is an animal freed from its cage? Someone opens the door. This applies to people in regards to their mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes simply talking helps, and with the right support, one can find the solution to feeling "stuck". However, going back to the animal analogy, once a person has a taste of freedom, it's essential to know how to adapt to this new sensation, and essentially, new psychological environment, and not return to imprisonment. This happens with time, and becomes a smoother process when there are others willing to help guide you on your journey to feeling independent, and most importantly, happy.

The feeling of being trapped can take awhile to over come. I believe (and this is for me) it is mostly our attitudes we have within us and our situations in life. Yes I do understand some have it very rough and little to no support. But it is their attitude that keeps them moving forward in their daily lives. I hope this makes sense and good luck!
