How can one best translate "become"? SD provides "convertirse" but that doesn't seem adequate most of the time.

The three common verbs for "to become" are ponerse, hacerse, and volverse. Also the phrase llegar a ser. Here's a link about this:

There is no translation for what I think you want, but many verbs when used reflexively can include the word become, such as:

I become frustrated every day; Me frustro cada día
