Most feelings of being trapped whether it be a relationship, job or life situation tend to manage themselves and usually only last a temporary period of time. Setting goals may help and taking practical steps such as applying to other jobs if the job is the problem, or reevaluating a relationship you feel trapped in may help. For deeper emotional troubles of feeling trapped though seeking counseling can be very helpful in exploring underlying themes. This tends to help people feel more free once they learn the cause of the "trapped" feeling.

You've an immense power over your mind. You just need to understand how to harness it. This feeling of 'trap' is in your head; there is nothing as being trapped. You need to be open to the idea of feeling liberated. Do things that make you happy. Explore new hobbies and find ways that make you feel liberated. You are only a step away from moving away from your current feeling.

Feeling of being trapped= expectations for the future that exceed today's resources. The goal is the future but focusing on What can be done today is priorty. Always in baby steps. Always hopeful. Move in and with faith. Chizzle the block of ice, as you chizzle it will at the same time be melting away. Be patient. Be tenacious. Little by little the boulder will subside. You can get through this. You will survive this.

Do you feel trapped by any particular thing? I think you need to understand how you feel trapped before you can really deal with it. If you cannot explain why you feel trap it may be anxiety that may the problem and you should look for help on how to deal with that. I do think you can stop feeling that way but as I said either identify why you feel trapped and work on resolving that or look for help with dealing with anxiety.

I think from personal experience getting out from that specific situation that is depriving you from happiness tends to help because you are getting out of that situation for good and making change to your life, however, saying that, it's not easy. If you are finding it difficult to get out of a situation that is holding you down because "it's just not possible right now" then maybe try to make your environment such as your bedroom.... or your living space more pleasant to live in to make you feel a little better, again, this might be difficult and may not work if so, try to work on yourself or do something you enjoy and maybe re-design the environment you live in, example, you could change up your bedroom and practice mindfulness meditation every morning to kick start a positive mind, slowly you feel less trapped and more in control over the feeling of being trapped all the time, if this is difficult for you then trust the process and know that you will get out of this one day :), So making little changes such as; re-designing living space, doing things you love to do, working on yourself or leaving the situation behind and moving on can do the trick. I don't know if this made sense but I hope I helped :)

Yes. If you're feeling trapped, then that feeling can leave you. I also used to feel trapped but life doesn't just stay the same. Several basic things in my life changed that helped me stop feeling trapped. Sometimes we have to nurture our own internal world and find good examples in others to handle feelings of entrapment. You can message me to talk in more detail about this.

Figure out what makes you feel trapped, first of all. Whether it's a physical or emotional problem. The answer depends alot on what you're struggling with, so I'd suggest connecting with a 7 Cups listener about it! The mind tends to repeat issues over and over again due to unresolved feelings or problems in order to resolve them, but it doesn't work that way and leads to a feeling of being stuck. Firstly figure out what the cause can be and see if you can do anything to sort out that cause.

It will leave when you decide it should leave. It will leave when you realise that you are the only one trapping yourself. Maybe there are people who don't care about what you feel or how you are doing. But even if you have one person that helps you escape, that makes you want to breathe again, hang on to them. Allow yourself to look through their eyes and allow yourself to be lead to another place. Be selfish, do what you want for a while. Take the risk, take the plunge - you won't be killing yourself, you will be saving yourself. Because let's face it, the only hero you will need and the only hero you will have is you and yourself. So what are you waiting for?!
