the word "excited": 兴奋 or 亢奋?
I want to say "excited" in the sense of "nervous excitement", when you're on an adrenaline high, but not necessarily a happy excitement.
Like when you are a cook and you have the horrible lunchtime rush; afterwards you are on a high, "excited".
But you are not "excited" like when winning the lottery!!
Which is the best word in Chinese?
Thanks!

According your description, of course, “亢奋” is the best.
"兴奋" is more general but often has some meaning of “高兴”.
For example, we may say
"我很兴奋" when I'm winning a lottery, and, say
"我很亢奋“ when I'm going to an examination
In above cases, it will be not appropriate that exchanging “兴奋” and “亢奋”.

看你的描述应该用“亢奋” ， 亢奋是高度兴奋以至于都有点不正常了。

I think"亢奋" is not a good word in spoken Chinese, if anybody use this,that maybe squib or to make people laugh.
