Downhearted
When someone is downhearted, they feel sad and discouraged deep in their heart. It’s like carrying a heavy weight of gloom and low spirits due to setbacks or tough times. This feeling can stem from personal struggles, relationship issues, or challenging circumstances.
Overall, “at a low ebb” conveys the sense of being in a slump or facing adversity, where one’s spirits are low, and it’s challenging to muster enthusiasm or energy. It’s a way to describe a period of feeling downcast or dispirited.
