Morphology
feeling + bluh
The headword 'feeling' clearly marks an emotional state and the second element 'bluh' is an informal, onomatopoeic mood label related to colloquial forms like 'blah' or 'bleh', so the general idea of being down or unenthusiastic is inferable. However 'bluh' is nonstandard and lacks a clear dictionary definition, and the exact nuance (mild apathy vs sadness) is idiomatic and not fully predictable to a B1 learner, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Feeling bluh comes from the small, sigh-like sound people make — a quiet 'bluh' that shows low energy or boredom. That's why feeling bluh means 'feeling down, unenthusiastic, or lacking energy'.
