Fresher here, need advice on surviving startup stress

Hey guys, so I joined this startup as a fresher, and my first PR got reverted. Feeling like I'm taking forever to get things done even after working for 12 hours a day. Learning on the job is super tough, man, and it keeps pushing my timelines. 😓

I tried to handle all the issues myself without bugging my seniors too much, but still ended up asking for help. My manager is supportive, but he did mention I should've finished things faster. Explained my struggles to him, and he understood, but it's not a great look, ya know? Like, I spent 3 hours on some simple git issue. Can't keep doing this, yaar.

Low confidence is killing me. Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this smart bunch. It's messing with my sleep, man. Been losing sleep over all these small inconveniences. Any tips or suggestions to cope up and improve? How do you guys handle this?
