I think the first-order misery is the same, but possibly you feel better about feeling miserable, knowing that it’s soon going to pass.
This strikes me as a confused way of thinking about the situation. If this is an important part of your model of what’s going on, can you expand on what you mean by phrases like “feeling miserable,” “feeling better”, and “first-order misery”? (If it’s not important to your model, feel free to ignore.)
