quandary

/ˈkwɔn.də.ɹi/noun

A situation in which you cannot decide what to do; a state of confusion or doubt.

Example sentence

  • She was in a quandary over whether to accept the job offer or stay near her family.

You are 'in a quandary'. Close to 'dilemma', but a dilemma strictly involves exactly two unwelcome options.
