A couple of questions...

Hello. I've written this dialogue:

"I've been out of job for nearly a year now."

"That must be hard."

"I miss the money, but other than that, it's been ok."

"Really? What do you all day?"

"I just sit at home watching TV. It's not that bad."

"I think I would've gone crazy (if it was me)."


Is it ok?

Do I need to include the words written in the parenthesis or can I do without?

Is it common in American English to casually use crazy as in this context?

What is more common in spoken English, "I think I would've gone crazy", "I think I'd have gone crazy" or just "I think I would have gone crazy"?
