<p>I assume you are talking about claustrophobia? "幽闭恐惧症" or "闭室恐幽症", but can not think of any slang to describe it? Maybe "恐幽症"?</p>

<p>There is a wikipedia page for it titled "<a href="http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%B9%BD%E9%97%AD%E6%81%90%E6%83%A7%E7%97%87" rel="nofollow">幽闭恐惧症</a>".</p>

I'm not sure is "claustrophobic" is an appropriate translation, nor do I think there is a Mandarin equivalent to to "stir crazy". Maybe `發瘋了` (become/go crazy/mad) or `閉疯了` (go crazy due to being shut in/incarcerated) would be more appropriate.

I am not familiar with this phrase. After searching it on the internet, I find a phrase "go stir crazy", which means "to be upset from staying in a place for a long time". Is this yours?

Yes, this is what I'm looking for. From Wikipedia: "..anyone who becomes restless or anxious from feeling trapped and even somewhat claustrophobic in an environment, usually a confined space, perceived to be more static and unengaging than can any longer continue to hold interest, meaning, and value to and for them"

There is a wikipedia page for it titled "[幽闭恐惧症](http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%B9%BD%E9%97%AD%E6%81%90%E6%83%A7%E7%97%87)".
