Je suis fou ou j’ai fou

[jaunty girder]

chaud is both an adjective and a noun

but fou is just an adjective

so you can't say avoir fou anymore than you can say to have crazy in english

être fou is what you want to say

also fou is more like crazy in terms of intensity than it is like insane

[round fractal]

Not really

[jaunty girder]

say more

obviously hard to make a direct comparison but saying insane is basically always stronger than crazy in english

[quartz hare]

If the context helps, I'm kind of trying to make a general statement like "This is going to drive me insane" or "Im going insane", so I would assume a phrase one could use is "Je vais être fou", but if there is better set of vocabulary to use, that would be very helpful

Devenir/rendre fou is what you're looking for

Not "I will be crazy"

[quartz hare]

ah gotcha, merci beaucoup!

[cursive locust]

Cela va me rendre fou (it will make me crazy).

Or folle if feminine.

Je suis fou _le verbe étre est toujours utilisé pour décrire un sentimnt ou quelque chose comme ça [adjectif] toujours avant l'adjectif status

I know I'm not good at explaining
