تكبِـتـُني

Explanation:
تكبِـتـُني (الكبت) would be the almost literal translation.

But in this case
إنّك تّغيظُـني، تُغضبني may express well the meaning of the original sentence.

Pushing a bit the meaning (according to the context) it could be:

تجعلني أهتزّ غيظا

If he or she\'s playing with his or her emotions, it doesn\'t automatically mean that he or she feels discouraged.

Usually when someone plays with amother one\'s emotions, the latter gets angry and furious, because it\'s kind of lacking respect.

This is for the context.

The frustration as it\'s popularly meant is kind of anger and fury because one wouldn\'t let you do

مُحبَط

Explanation:
To frustrate is to thwart: to prevent from accomplishing a purpose or fulfilling a desire.

But in this sentence, the intended meaning is more related to feelings. "You make me very frustrated" means "You make me feel very frustrated," which means "You make me feel very discouraged, baffled, and anxious." The rest of the sentence explains the meaning better: "You are playing with me," meaning "You are toying with my feelings, manipulating my emotions."

When translating "You are making me very frustrated," it is better to approach the sentence as a whole, and not single out the word "frustrated." The sentence may be rendered,

إنك تدفعني إلى هوة الإحباط

إنك تعذبني بالإحباط
