I'd like to say "Give me a break, ok?. I'm doing the best I can. I am trying really hard, you know".

Guys, my question is how do I say the text in quotation marks in German. Help me translate that.

You can't really translate an idiomatic expression like "give me a break" into German word by word, and expect it to make sense.
"Mach mal langsam", oder "Hetz nicht so" would be equally idiomatic expressions in German.
The same is true for "I'm trying really hard." The German idiom for that is "Ich gebe mir wirklich alle Mühe"
So my translation, as literal as possible would be:
" Mach mal langsam, ok. Ich tue mein Bestes. Ich gebe mir wirklich alle Mühe, weißt du!"
I hope you are happy with that ;-)

Lass mich eine Pause machen, ok? Ich tue mein Bestes. Ich gebe mir wirklich Mühe, weißt du?
That's the correct translation, not word by word, bur you'd definitely say that. And it's exactly spelled like that.

if you would like that translated:
"Lass mich in Ruhe, ok? Ich tue mein bestes. Ich versuche schon alles, weisst du?"

"Gönne mir eine Pause, ja? Ich tue mein bestes. Ich gebe mir alle Mühe, wie du weißt."
Sorry, I just discovered that "Give me a break" may be an American slang, meaning "Give me a chance". In that case the translation is: "Gib mir eine Chance. Ich tue mein bestes. Ich gebe mir alle Mühe, wie du weißt."
