English term or phrase: off-kilter
A nervous breakdown, they called it, and she thought the term quite perfect. It was as if her nervous system had ceased to function. She was spastic and off-kilter, with all the basic bodily functions--sleeping, eating, shitting--unpredictable.

spastic dan off-kilter di sini saling melengkapi. Spastic bisa diterjemahkan sebagai kejang-kejang. Seluruh kalimat tsb. pada dasarnya menggambarkan kondisi seseorang yang tidak karuan/kacau.
