but sometimes i still wish to be a bird so that i could just fly whenever i want naturally and dont have to worry about anything except water and food like bugs and seeds and thats about it
 
You'd prefer to trade your human concerns for basic concerns.

It sounds simpler, you figure.
 
Oh, I wish I had wings like a dove.
I would fly away and find a place to rest.
7 I would go far into the desert and stay there. Selah

8 I would run away.
I would escape from this storm of trouble.

This sounds a lot like something called avoidance. Avoidance is a common reaction to anxiety and overwhelm - we can tell ourselves that working out our problems is impossible and getting away from them would be better.

Unfortunately, avoidance rarely solves any problems and the longer we avoid, the less capable we feel to actually take actions that would solve problems.

- Considering one problem at a time is less overwhelming. Looking at all of our problems and worries as one big picture can definitely be overwhelming. If we take things one problem at a time and break them down into pieces, it can be more like solving a puzzle than getting crushed by impossible problems.

- Staying focused on the present moment can help with remembered worries from the past and imagined worries about the future. As much as possible, it can be helpful to stay focused on the present moment - some people benefit from giving themselves 10 minutes a day to worry, but then after that, it's time to get busy and stay focused on other things.

- It can be helpful to stay active, drink water, eat healthy foods, and spend your time in ways that feel purposeful. Even when the world feels too impossible and we just want to stay in bed or fly away or just disappear, the best thing to do is to do something - go for a walk in nature, spend some time with an animal, do something helpful for another, write in a journal, complete a chore like laundry or tidying a room.

When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I like to get my camera and go finds some birds to photograph. Here's a bird for you for hope that you can find a way to feeling better.

Felt this way when younger, like I couldn't figure out what to do anymore.....wishing for a way out.

Especially confusing when you don't mask properly, or have female click and constant sound of whispers and bitchy comments standing out between.

Interesting. So another way of looking at it is it would be nice to be totally content with only water and food like bugs and seeds as a bird would. I think that is easier to do than becoming a bird. Still pretty hard though.

Fun fact:
The mating behaviors of birds are closer human's that almost every other mammal is, including the Great Apes.
So you'd be at home with at least one aspect or your avian life :)
