Is ' jittery ' another option ? Or ' psyched ' for overly excited ?

psyched usually means excitied, thrilled, happy about something

psyched out, however, means you are perplexed, confused, and now anxious about not being able to perform in a given event/circumstance

often used in sports (or politics) as a verb - to psyche someone out

example:

active:
candidate A psyched out candidate B by asking about his personal life.

passive:
team A's members were psyched out by the huge number of fans in the stadium wearing the colo(u)rs of team B.
