 |  |  |
To have a chip on one's shoulder | To come apart at the seams | To be like a fish out of water |
 |  |  |
To get a grip on oneself | To go off the deep end | To go to pieces |
 |  |  |

 |  |  |
To be on tenterhooks | To think the world of somebody | To wear one's heart on one's sleeves |
 |  |  |
To be written over someone's face | To go bananas | To feel in a stew |
Yes,
