When I'm in a work environment, I always try to relax and build my stuff as good as I can. If I can't do something, because I lack either skill or time, I talk to the manager and try to find a solution. I take a pretty hard stance against working overtime or an unhealthy environment, so I rarely get into those situations.
At pet projects it's even more relaxed because I can take my time to learn everything to complete it.
However, when I get stuck doing a coding test in a job interview, I really do feel helpless, because there's a time limit and there are no colleages to turn to for help.
