freaked out

Went totally berserk

Freaked out describes a state of extreme agitation, panic, or emotional disturbance.

Someone who is freaked out has lost composure due to fear, stress, or overwhelming circumstances: I was completely freaked out when I saw the spider.

It can also describe being disturbed by something bizarre or unsettling: The whole situation freaked me out.

The phrase works as both adjective and verb phrase.
