Hi :-)
Hmm, it makes it more bearable because people don't avoid you because you depress them and only talk about how shit your life is. And IME rather than misery loving company, I find company usually gets rid of misery - as long as it's people you like :-) So, in summary, next weekend get all your friends round for a nice little gathering - nothing scheduled, just bung some food on, or get some delivered, put a few drinks out and fire up the Xbox/Wii!
