Translation help, 思う vs 思っている when the subject of the sentence is the speaker


I'm working on a translation for a comic and I'm kind of stumped on this one
line. The specific context is the character talking to herself and musing
about what someone else thinks of her, the line in question being, "He's
probably going to think I'm crazy for worrying this much..."

I'm thinking it's 思っている because the topic of the sentence is still he, a third
person. Here's what I got so far, 彼は私がこんなに心配してるなんて、頭がおかしいと思ってるでしょう。 Is this
correct?

Also, two things. Can 多分 be used here along with でしょう or is it
incorrect/redundant? Like, ・・・多分頭がおかしいと思ってるでしょう。 I only ask because I've heard
多分 can't be used when assuming someone's feelings or thoughts. And two, is
頭がおかしい an appropriate expression for crazy in this context? Thank you.




The sentence

> 彼は私がこんなに心配してるなんて、頭がおかしいと思ってるでしょう。

as a translation of

> He's probably going to think I'm crazy for worrying this much...

is correct, as far as meaning or general acceptability is concerned.

* * *

I think you are confusing some rules.

  * 彼は・・・と思う is usually odd.
  * 彼は・・・と思っている is common.

But

  * 彼は・・・と思うでしょう and 彼は・・・思っているでしょう

are both fine. So 思う/思っている is purely aspectual difference and it's your choice
which is better for the context.

* * *

Regarding たぶん, 多分頭がおかしいと思ってるでしょう is fine. It is certainly odd to say
私はたぶん頭が痛い, which I guess the rule you have in mind is about.

Regarding _crazy_ , it looks ok (without context), but
[どうかしている](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/97713/45489) may be better. Or
maybe 変だ.

* * *

Another option I can think of is to use a relative clause:
こんなに心配している私を、たぶん彼はどうかしていると思うでしょう. ( _He's going to think that I, who is
worried this much, is crazy_ )
