climbing walls
Going up vertically
Climbing walls describes a state of extreme frustration, restlessness, or agitation—the feeling of being so desperate or anxious that you might literally try to scale the walls: I've been stuck inside for a week and I'm climbing walls.
The phrase often appears with a possessive: climbing the walls, climbing my walls.
It suggests pent-up energy with no outlet.
