Scratched 

(Figurative meaning). To be worried about something, especially when it involves overthinking about it.

A (metaphorically) scratched person is kinda like a scratched CD that gets stuck in one place and repeats the same sound over and over. By extension, a scratched person will be brooding in the same thing for hours. No one can stop them.

Most people get scratched about irrelevant matters, for example, about that stupid thing they said to their crush.
“Hey, are you coming to the party tonight?”
“I dunno, I’m scratched cause I don’t wanna see my ex there”.

“C’mon!”

Scratched 

(Figurative meaning). To be worried about something, especially when it involves overthinking about it.

Like a scratched CD gets stuck in one place and repeats the same sound over and over, a (metaphorically) scratched person broods on something for hours and hours, wondering and worrying too much about it.

Usually people get scratched about small matters, like that stupid thing they said to their crush and they regret. However, it's possible to get scratched about important things, for example, a final exam that went horrible.
- Hey bro, are you coming to the party tonight?
- I dunno if I should cause my ex might be there... I'm getting very scratched about it.
- C'mon...
