Is there a word or phrase for that sense of annoyance and stress at the failure of your own brain that occurs when the thing that you were thinking of or intending to do mere seconds before slips from your mind and you're faced with the stark and humorous realization that you have no idea why you just walked into a room to do something and now you're just standing there like a moron desperately seeking your purpose? I feel like if ennui is a word then that feeling should have a word too.
