If you feel guilty, try Rubber Duck Debugging first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

You'll be surprised how often you'll find the solution by yourself before annoying anyone else about it ;)

To add onto that, do your rubber duck debugging in the form of an email asking for help and explaining what you've tried so far. Maybe you'll find the solution while writing the message, and if not, just click send!
