Unhappy DIY’s made complicated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dismayed

'unhappy' is the definition.
(dismayed means unsettled or unhappy)

'diy's made complicated' is the wordplay.
'complicated' indicates an anagram (a complex or confusing ordering of the letters).
'diys'+'made'='diysmade'
'diysmade' anagrammed gives 'DISMAYED'.

(Other definitions for dismayed that I've seen before include "Alarmed, discouraged" , "Daunted" , "Downhearted" , "Horrified" , "Dispirited" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
