blue mood
A sad spell
A blue mood is a state of sadness, melancholy, or mild depression.
The phrase draws on blue's long association with low spirits: She's been in a blue mood since the breakup.
Unlike clinical depression, a blue mood suggests something temporary—a passing spell of gloom rather than a persistent condition.
