I suggested
{mi na djuno lo du'u gasnu ma kau}
or rather
{mi na djuno lo du'u mi gasnu ma kau},
meaning "I do not know what I'll do."

But as the others pointed out, something like
{mi na djuno lo du'u mi bilga ma kau}
"I don't know what I have (ought) to do/be."
may be a better translation.

You can read about {kau} at
http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less15.html
"Indirect questions."

li'u
i ku'i preti i ja'e nitcu zo kau

"{djuno}'s x2 {du'u} frustrates me..."
