how I feel suffocated
Explanation:
a stronger expression.
feeling suffocated can grasp most of the meaning here, "daralmak" can, figuratively, both mean an unpleasent feeling because of the lack of space (dar= narrow & tight, not spacious maybe) or feeling very anxious/stressful

Thanks as usual to Atıl. I found Tuncay's explanation very useful & convıncing. The idea of lack of space echoes precisely the English expression of being hemmed in.
