fiending
Jonesing for something
Fiending is craving something intensely, often with connotations of addiction or obsession.
The word comes from fiend, suggesting demonic or compulsive desire: I'm fiending for coffee right now, He's been fiending for that new video game.
Common in casual speech, especially among younger speakers, it describes urgent wanting that feels hard to control.
