Confusing 'aliviado' with 'alive'
'Aliviado' means relieved, not alive. 'Alive' is 'vivo/a'.
Forgetting the 'me'
You need 'me' to show the feeling is happening *to you*. 'Siento aliviado' is incomplete.
A small cultural note
In some regions, a simple '¡Qué alivio!' might be more common as a quick, exclamatory response to a stressful situation ending.
