Melancholia 

Sadness or depression for no evident reason. Usually something insignificant, but can be something big and you just don't realize it.

I suffer from Melancholia and am usualy confused when someone talks to me because I am usualy ignored. I think this is why I have melancholia. Either that or because I've never had a girlfriend.

Melancholia 

Basically, it's a less intense version of depression, though it differs from it in a lot of ways.

People who are depressed just feel worthless and think that nothing could cure them or make them happy. However, melancholia isn't like that and it's more narcissistic, making the sufferer want 'better' feelings (or better life) - longing for love, the past (if nostalgic) and just want their gaps to be filled. They'd daydream about being with what they long for and such.

Most people with melancholia would think about having a lover and how sad it makes that they still don't have one. They are not depressed (as said) - they cope well with life activities, but they lack that something that fills them up (doesn't have to be a lover though - could be a job, friend, family and even their computer or musical instrument).

NOTE: At times, though, a sustained and intense melancholia may lead to depression.

I need a lover. I want someone to fill up the gap in my heart. I smile, I laugh, I do my daily activities (not depressed), but I long for to be with someone - I have melancholia on a daily basis. :(

metaphoria 

when something is too exciting to be considered a "euphoria."
being a metaphor isn't necessary to be a metaphoria.

special shout out to kerry keene for publicizing the use of the word.

The art room is a metaphoria of kids eating lunch and trying to do homework.
