Hello!

Which is the right idiom? "Getting or Going" crazy?

Thanks a lot
W
 
I am going crazy.
Someone or something is making me crazy.
 
I am going crazy.

Thank you SOUP!

Can't we ever say "I'm getting crazy"?

Cheers

Sure, but it's not what native English speakers would expect to hear. It's used by a given person in a particular situation; for example, inceptive "He's getting crazy", meaning he is starting to lose it, become crazy, very angry or upset.)

Here's another one: someone or something is driving me crazy.
