Dear Blue Jay: First of all thanks for your answer.

I understand your argument. But how can I express that the person feels "negatively charged"?

Maybe The man feels very confused and full of negative energies? (related to esoterism)

Thanks for your time

Negative energies sounds odd, unless it is some sort of New Age type jargon. Do you have in mind something like discouraged? Some other related words are:
Crestfallen
Dejected
Demoralized
Depressed
Disconsolate
Despairing
Discouraged
Dismayed
Dispirited
Downbeat
Downcast
Downhearted.
