English term or phrase: what’s driving me nuts?
Testo teatrale israeliano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Una donna, titolare di un atelier di abiti da sposa, si lamenta del figlio che non vuole sposarsi.

He hasn’t even had a girlfriend. And what’s driving me nuts? His mother has a bridal salon and he doesn’t want to get married!

La mia proposta:

[...] E lo sai cosa mi fa diventare pazza?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

cosa mi fa uscir di testa? / cosa mi fa diventar matta?


Explanation:
dal momento che c'è anche 'drive me crazy', scenderei un mezzo gradino, più sul colloquiale.

Oppure userei la parola 'matto', 'mi fa diventar matta'
