I don't think you have anything to be embarassed about - your situation is not that unusual, believe it or not.
I lived with a good friend once and I also felt down when he was frequently off doing things without me - esp. since we were living in his home city where I didn't know much of anyone. I found that it helped to schedule activities with him just like I did when we weren't living together.
As far as only having a few friends, it can be hard to be social when you're feeling depressed, and if you're spending a lot of time in bed and/or TV-watching, you're not going to meet anyone new. My only suggestion for that is find some kind of activity that you enjoy where you'll meet other people - if you like animals, volunteer at a shelter where you'll meet other animal people, that kind of thing . . .
Good luck.
