If so, could you tell me how it feels,whether or not you actually changed shape,
what kind of animal/creature you transformed into and how i can learn.

I don't think it's actually possible to shapeshift... sorry
You may not get the shape of an animal, but it's qualities (strength, and such), like Native Americans do

The most important aspect of shape-shifting, thematically, is whether the transformation is voluntary. Circe transforms intruders into her island in swine, and Ged, in A Wizard of Earthsea becomes a hawk to escape an evil wizard's stronghold, but a werewolf's transformation, driven by internal forces, is as hideous as that which Circe enforces, and when Athena transforms Cornix into a crow, Ovid put into Cornix's mouth that "the virgin goddess feels pity for a virgin and she helped me" because her new form enabled her to escape rape at Neptune's hands. When a form is taken on involuntarily, the thematic effect is one of confinement and restraint; the person is bound to the new form. In extreme cases, such as petrifaction, the character is entirely disabled. Voluntary forms, on the other hand, are means of escape and liberation; even when the form is not undertaken to effect a literal escape, the abilities specific to the form, or the disguise afforded by it, allow the character to act in a manner previously impossible.
Beyond this, the uses of shape-shifting, transformation, and metamorphosis in fiction are as protean as the forms the characters take on. Some are rare — Italo Calvino's "The Canary Prince" is a Rapunzel variant in which shape-shifting is used to gain access to the tower — but others are common motifs.
I DON'T THINK ITS REAL.GOD BLESS YOU

I'll definitely be a different shape after Thanksgiving turkey. I'll probably resemble some animal in the swine family. It makes me feel sleepy.

No such thing as ShapeShifting. Only in the movies.

Why do you think this is possible?
have you been able to learn any other superhuman abilities?
If you have been able to aquire superhuman abilities, i'd say you need to teach yourself or perhaps your powers are limited.
if you have no superhuman abilities there is no reason that you should be able to do this.

Please be very weary of anyone that tells you anything different.
