going nuts
Totally losing composure
Going nuts means losing one's composure or mental stability, often from stress, frustration, or overwhelming circumstances: I'm going nuts trying to finish this project.
It can also describe becoming extremely enthusiastic or excited: The crowd went nuts when she walked onstage.
The phrase suggests a departure from calm, rational behavior—whether negative or positive.
