It can be incredibly difficult to open up when you're in pain
Agony, whether it's physical, emotional, or psychological, often acts as a barrier, making it feel like there's a wall between you and the rest of the world. The weight of it can make expressing yourself feel overwhelming or even impossible. Remember, though, that opening up doesn't have to be all at once or with everyone. It can start small, with someone you trust, or even through writing or art, where you can express your feelings without the pressure of immediate judgment or response.
