' am crazy with / from / because of, etc your failure.'

'be crazy for / about' means liking something very much. And then when I want to mean strange or angry, what preposition is natural?

'I am crazy with / from / because of, etc your failure.'

I am sorry about the lame example, but I can't think of any better one, but I hope that I could make it clear.

Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

  • Hans51 be crazy for / about' means liking something very much.

  • None, really, for the reason you have given.
  • 'Crazy' (if it does not mean 'insane') generally means 'excited about, highly pleasured'.
  • Therefore, you will have to go further afield and use the word something like this: Your failure is driving me crazy!

Thank you so much and what does go further afield mean? I looked it up in the dictionary and it says 'off the subject' but I don't think you meant this or does it mean that you will have to give more information? What does that mean in your reply?
