I am standing in a lot of pain/anguish/distress.
Or if you don't mean physically standing, but as a state of mind you could just drop the word "standing" and say
I'm in/under a lot of anguish/distress/etc.

N o this does not make sense it is not even grammatically correct.
options to correct it depends on what one is trying to say.
1- I'm in agony (I hurt a lot)
2- When I stand I am in agony ( If I stand I get a lot of pain)
3- I am standing and I am in agony.
4- I am standing and I am really embarrassed.
Just a note i the person who is writing is using a translation dictionary sometimes the wrong word choice appears which is why number 4 is there. how ever asking your friend to explain them self in another way may help you to help them.

Try: The agony of standing in this hot water is driving me out of my mind,
Or: There is great agony caused by standing in a pool of hot water.

No it doesn't make sense. Nobody talks like that.
You might be standing in agony or you might be in agony.
But nobody says I am standing in big agony.

It is wrong.
When in real agony, you can't stand, but must be either restlessly running around or sitting with your head in hands.
So the sentence is wrong in text as well as in reality.
I wish it was wrong in real sense, but sentence "I am in big agony" is correct as far as english language is concerned.

How about I'm surrounded by agony.

how about...As I stand, agony consumes me. Or you can forget about standing and just say, I am consumed by agony.

I am in agony.
I am standing in a puddle of hot water, causing me great agony.
Kind of depends on the context of what is being written.

I'd say, "I am in extreme agony" or "I remain in extreme agony".
