feeling down
Emotionally in decline
Feeling down is experiencing low spirits, sadness, or mild depression—a temporary dip in mood rather than a clinical condition.
The phrase suggests something less severe than despair but more than momentary disappointment: I've been feeling down since she left.
Often used when someone can't pinpoint exactly why they're unhappy.
