bouncing off walls
Extremely restless and energetic
Bouncing off walls describes a state of hyperactive, restless energy—someone so wound up they can't sit still: The kids have been bouncing off the walls all morning.
Often used for children who've had too much sugar or screen time, or anyone exhibiting manic, unfocused excitement.
The image suggests movement so frantic it ricochets off surfaces.
