wrought-up
In a state
Wrought-up means emotionally agitated or worked into a state of excitement or distress: She was too wrought-up to sleep.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned, with *worked up* now more common in speech.
Wrought is an archaic past tense of work, surviving in phrases like *wrought iron* and *what hath God wrought*.
