I'm getting tired

I'm going crazy

Explanation: I don't know the official answer why these sentences are the way they are, but if I had to guess, it would have to do with the fact that I would use "going" when I'm losing my mind. So "I'm going insane. I'm going crazy. I'm going out of my mind." but I would say "getting" for almost everything else. "I'm getting tired. I'm getting angry. I'm getting hungry. I'm getting annoyed." etc...

I'd say 95% of the time, "getting" is the correct verb to use. Use "going" for the examples I listed above.
