I'm depressed, /lit/.

What I've always wanted (you can call me a loser, if you like) is a small, intimate community of people online who go to the same forum or whatever regularly, perhaps at first because they have common interests, but later perhaps because they all realize that the world is a harsh, cold place and this community is a source of succor and solidarity for them.

Feel free to start mocking.

If you're depressed, you should read some E. M. Cioran\

Cheer you right up

Well stop. I suffer from that shit legit and I'm sick of people using it colloquially. It removes emphasis from the fact that it's a legitimate psychological disorder and thus lowers the chance that people will actually get help for it.

Say you're down, or feeling blue, or (the aforementioned) ennui. /lit/ would suck your cock for using words like ennui.
