spazzed out
Had a meltdown
Spazzed out describes losing control in a frantic, erratic, or overwhelmed way.
Someone might spaz out from stress, excitement, or overstimulation: She totally spazzed out when she saw the spider.
The term derives from spastic, which some consider offensive due to its association with cerebral palsy, though spaz and spazzed out are often used casually without that intent.
