Struggling to Reconnect: Feeling Distant After a Personal Decision

Salam everyone. I've always felt close to Allah, even though I've had my ups and downs with salah, like many of us do-I always return to Him, always making du'a and remembering Him. After I started wearing hijab, things were okay for a while, but about a year in, I began to really struggle with it. It caused issues with my hair and scalp, and over time, I grew to resent it deeply. This year, I made a personal decision regarding it, and since then, I've felt this heavy distance from Allah. I can't seem to pray anymore; I still love Allah and remember Him, but when I try to pray, I just can't bring myself to do it. I know these feelings might not be right, but it's like I'm stuck thinking Allah is displeased with me over this, even though I still have strong negative feelings about hijab and personally don't believe it's mandatory for me (please, I'm not looking for debate on this-for me, it really affected my confidence and well-being). People might say the issue is deeper, about self-esteem, and maybe that's true, but my suffering became so much more intense after I started wearing it. Why should a piece of fabric cause so much pain? Even if it were mandatory, I feel too weak for this test-it feels beyond my limits. I'm just left wondering: Is Allah angry with me?
