tripping out

Mind playing tricks

Tripping out means experiencing altered perception or intense psychological states, originally from hallucinogenic drug use: I was tripping out on mushrooms.

It extends to being mentally overwhelmed, confused, or acting strangely: She's tripping out over the exam results.

Someone might also trip out on something fascinating: I was tripping out on the sunset.
