I don't understand why when I ask for help with something, I am told how to do the thing.

I am not asking for help because I don't know how the task works. I am asking for help because I need help. If I asked "how do I do this thing", then sure, tell me how to do the thing. But if I ask for assistance with the task, it means exactly that. I'm not stupid. I'm overwhelmed, sick, and cannot manage all of this alone.
