worked-up
This term describes a state of high emotional arousal that is typically unstable or distressing. It suggests a buildup of tension, where a person has been "wound up" like a spring, leading to a loss of composure. While it can occasionally describe positive anticipation, it is most frequently used to describe agitation, anxiety, or anger.
In terms of register, it is predominantly informal and conversational. In professional or clinical settings, terms like "agitated," "distressed," or "perturbed" are preferred. It is almost exclusively used as a predicative adjective (following a verb like "be" or "get"), meaning it rarely appears directly before a noun in natural speech.
