bummed out
Down in spirits
Bummed out means disappointed, dejected, or mildly depressed.
The feeling is genuine but not devastating—more deflated than despairing: I was really bummed out when the concert got canceled.
Common in casual American speech since the 1970s.
The shorter bummed works the same way: She's bummed about failing the test.
