English term or phrase: blow off steam
Don't hesitate to get help from peers or supervisors. This may be the only way to recover and get back out in front. Use their help in prioritizing your time and the team's time, picking up some of your work, or just to listen to you blow off steam. Take someone's hand if it's offered to you. Ask for a hand if it isn't offered.
