"On the string" = trên sợi dây căng -> nghĩa là đang trong tình trạng không chắc chắn đầy lo âu/hồi hộp.

Ví dụ
Parents can help their children and themselves by practicing grounding tools when the inevitable back-to-school jitters (bồn chồn, hốt hoảng) arise. Start by helping your child identify when they are on the string . 

"I play with a kite. I found my old kite (diều) under a table when I was cleaning a couple of weeks ago. So I picked it up, unravelled it, and went down to my local park. I let go of the whole length of the string and it was beautiful feeling the tension on the string and being in contact with the wind."

Anxiety impacts our thoughts and behavior. People often become more irritable (cáu kỉnh) and defensive when they’re on the string. Some people become avoidant (né tránh, tránh xa) e.g., they leave tasks till the last minute, which can infuriate (làm tức điên lên) their team members. Others become excessively perfectionistic (hoàn hảo, cầu toàn).
