troubled, as in : "She is troubled"

to be troubled (as in to be worried, to be burdened, to be stressed) → gen pwoblèm, gen tèt chaje

She is burdened.
Li gen pwoblèm.  or
Li gen tèt chaje.  or
Tèt li chaje.

I am burdened.
Mwen gen pwoblèm.  or
Mwen gen tèt chaje.   or
Tèt mwen chaje.

I am stressed over all the party preparations.
Tèt mwen chaje avèk tout preparasyon fèt la.

A person who's known to cause a lot of problems, or a troublemaker is called a "tèt chaje" in Haitian Creole.

EXAMPLE:
Be careful with this girl.  She's a loose canon.
Fè atansyon ak fi sa.  Li se yon tèt chaje.
