Your poignant writing comes from your pain. Many artists create beautiful works when they are in pain. Some of my most beautiful photography has come from my darkest moments.

I don't agree with trying to free ourselves from the pain, I have found it I can harness that pain, I can see the beauty in it.

It is a little different way of looking at depression, and it, most times, works for me. Maybe it can help you discover the beauty and leave the suffering.
Of course pain has a certain beauty to it, otherwise books involving pain and conflict and struggle would fail rather than succeed. If there was not something alluring in the pain, why would anyone choose to read such things?

And I myself have created works which others have fallen in love with, drawn from my own pain. It seems odd for someone not experiencing it, how out of something so dark, can come something so deeply beautiful.

While I enjoy and would never want to give up the level of inspiration I can achieve while in pain, I do wish that one did not need to be in pain to create such.
