lost feeling
Gone sensation inside
A lost feeling is a sense of disorientation or uncertainty about one's direction, purpose, or place.
It can be literal—I had a lost feeling driving through the unfamiliar neighborhood—or existential: After graduation, she had a lost feeling about what to do next.
The phrase captures being adrift rather than merely confused.
