CLIMBING THE WALLS

To be climbing the walls is an idiom that means to be feeling frustrated, anxious and/or trapped, as many of us are at the moment, as we remain in our homes, worrying about COVID-19 and its associated problems!

 Examples

 “Do everything you can to get the help you need to keep yourself from climbing the walls.”

 “There’s probably only so much screen time you want them to have, so how do you stop them (and you) from climbing the walls until it’s safe to go outside again?”

 “Another admitted he was climbing the walls already.”
