uncontainable

Beyond all limits

Uncontainable describes something too powerful, intense, or abundant to be held back or restrained.

Emotions are often uncontainable: uncontainable joy, uncontainable rage.

The word suggests force that overwhelms attempts at suppression: Her laughter became uncontainable.

An uncontainable situation has spiraled beyond control.
