"Hurry" or "To be in a rush" in Spanish

After much research I am still confused between these four ways of talking about "hurrying up" or "being in a rush". Apurarse and apresurarse are especially confusing for me since they are so similar. Could somebody please enlighten me? Also, is there one which is more common, specifically in Mexico?

Tener prisa apurarse darse prisa apresurarse

¡muchas gracias!

Viví en España, la frase más popular he oido es "tener prisa".

In Mexico: I´m in a hurry ..... Tengo prisa / Ando apurado.

Imperative: Hurry up! .... ¡Date prisa! / ¡Apúrate!
