a very nervous and distraught person(Formerly used to refer to someone who is totally physically disabled. See also nervous wreck.)
I was a basket case when it came to interviews.

an awesome green day song with a rocking beat and lots of bass; the song is about frontman's billie joe armstrong's paranoia
Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up,
I think I'm cracking up,
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up,
I think I'm cracking up,
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?

The term has its roots in world war I. The soldiers referred to the injured who had to have all four limbs amputated as a basket case. I figure it is something to do with the fact that the person will now have to be carried around in a basket!

1980s horror epic about Duane Bradley and his deformed, slab or meat brother named Belial that he carries around in a wicker basket. The 2 brothers (once attaches as seimese twins at the side) go to New York city in order to kill the doctors who seperated them. One of the sickest, funniest movies ever made. Basket Case 2, and Basket Case 3: The Progeny followed.

1.) John has been a basket case ever since his wife left him.
2.) This song-
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned
