Calm down
When one wants to respond even-temperedly to a suggestion "Calm down", does he say:
I am calm down? Or,
I am calmed down?
I heard it several times before but could never make out whether there's a "ed" to "calm" because the 2nd word "down" starts with the sound "d". Thanks a lot to anyone who'd help.

Thanks Philip!
Or "What you do mean "calm down"? Don't tell me to calm down because I am calm!!!!"
But, is "I am calmed down" possible too? I was sure there's "be" verb in the dialogue. Let me check Youtube again.

LOL - Few things will make me as UN-calm as being told to calm down.

Grammar GeekNo kidding, it's like adding gasoline to the flame. "Do not tell me to calm down or I'll show you what it's like when I really need to calm down!"

I wonder if it's grammatical to say "I am calm down"?!
Since "calm" could also be an adjective, "down" in this case acts as an adverb that discribes "calm" and tells how. Therefore this structure is grammatical? Maybe?
By saying "I am calmed down", it restricts the speaker to admitting that he/she was excited/upset before but now have been made to be calm. But most

If you've been calm the whole time (which is when it really ****** me off to be told to calm down, thus ensuring I'm no longer calm):
I am calm, thank you.
I'm very calm, thank you.
I am and have been calm, but that will change if tell me to calm down again.
I am quite calm.
If you've been upset but you get it together: Okay, I've calmed down. Now l
