deliriously

In frenzied joy

Deliriously means in a state of wild excitement, confusion, or feverish abandon.

Someone deliriously happy is so overjoyed they've lost composure: She was deliriously in love.

The word can describe actual delirium from illness or exhaustion, but more often captures extreme emotional states that border on the irrational: deliriously drunk, deliriously tired.
