in a state

1. Agitated, anxious, or upset. Tommy's been in a state ever since we took his video games away from him.

2. Chaotic or unruly; disheveled; very messy or untidy. I'd invite you in for a cup of tea, but the house is in a state at the moment. My hair was in a state when I woke up this morning, and I haven't been able to do anything with it all day!
