Frantically panicking; an extremely high combined state of intense anxiety and overwhelming panic, causing the individual experiencing it an enormous surge of energy, often becoming reckless and careless with anyone or anything in proximity. Onlookers usually assume the individual is in an uncontrollable frenzy of rage or completely insane, unable to cope with the situation, thus instinctively steering clear and giving the franicking person as much space as possible.
