mopiness

Persistent low spirits

Mopiness is the state of being mopey—glum, listless, and inclined to sulk.

It suggests a low-grade dejection that lingers without dramatic cause: His mopiness after the breakup lasted for weeks.

The word carries a faint dismissiveness, implying the mood is somewhat self-indulgent or unwarranted.
