The way you are thinking is making you unhappy - not the thing itself.
The psychology behind decision making and happiness is very interesting. And has become a boom area in psychology over the past decade.
I usually don't find this sort of thing that interesting. But the TED lecture below is one of the best I have seen. The research into how our minds are easily manipulated into being unhappy is fascinating.
Holy Moly! That video was amazing. That Harvard experiment thing felt like he was talking to me personally about my situation right now! I'm off for soccer now, but when I come back I' gonna be spending a good one hour thinking about what this guy said and my current situation. Thanks a ton cardguy!
