I agree with acm. "Miss Misery" is his depression. He's felt depressed for so long that he begins to take comfort in it, and when he actually feels good for a little while, he knows that depression is lurking at the corner. So he compares his misery to a girl he has an ongoing relationship with. A girl that he doesn't want around, but then when she gets there, he just lays back and accepts her.
"You had plans for both of us that involved a trip out of town, to a place I've seen in a magazine that you left lying around."
I always thought this part was about suicide. The trip out of town meaning leaving the world. And it was her magazine, so it was Miss Misery's idea for him to do it.
