Possibly if u saw something that overwhelmed u.. but at the same time somthing that underwhelmed u..they might cancel each other out and leave u just whelmed.
Right now Im slightly whelmed, however that could change

Overwhelm and whelm are pretty much the same thing.
Underwhelmed is a relatively new word (1949 ish), so yes you can be all three...

Probably not. 'To whelm' itself means 'to engulf, submerge, or bury'. So to say that you are 'whelmed' has the same meaning as being 'overwhelmed'. Don't ask me why the latter is always used instead of the former, though...

Yes, and I hate being whelmed. The dictionary says it means to be covered with water.

I'm actually sat here trying to practice the emotion of being whelmed. You are making me laugh.

in the sense that you are asking no, but whelmed does mean getting covered in water

Whelmed would be a state of no feeling, so no. There's no such thing.
