You fall into mud. It is sticky and sucking and cloying and whether you stay still and try to remain calm or struggle and try to get out, you're sucked downward. You can't breathe, you can't (of course) see, and you can feel the crushing weight of earth on you. When the blackness becomes overwhelming, you find yourself somewhere else...

You can't just decide that something like that hurts us without giving us a choice! Don't you think seeing you do this to yourself hurts even more?

Well you're wrong!

Seeing you tear yourself up like this, putting it away and hiding it—that hurts more than if I saw it in the first place!

That's not what I meant. Maybe you can't make it so it never hurts—but at least if you show us, if you share it with us—then we can help, we can make it hurt less for all of us.

Who says I don't want to deal with it?

I know it's hard to share things when it feels like you're facing them all alone, when you feel like everyone else wouldn't understand. It seems like it's easier to just keep it in and handle it on your own.

But you're not forcing me to deal with it when I'm asking you to let me help. I'm telling you I want to. Because you're my teammate, my family. I want to help you, Pumpkin.
