I feel like if ennui is a word then that feeling should have a word too.

The
original meaning of “ambivalence” had a stronger meaning back in the days when it was coined: “simultaneous conflicting feelings.” Tho, I’d probably call what you’re saying in your head at that moment, “situational dislocution.” There’s probably not a “proper” phrase or word for the emotional resonance, because that would be applying two separate descriptions where one is pretty overwhelming enough. Maybe you can make up something. Call it “suffering from imbroglio brain.”
