Hello, I would try to find the cause of the uncomfort.

Its complexity? The tooling? The area of the project, the code, etc try to find a cause and improve that area of the project if you can.

Planning ahead your activities and not working on the project beyond than you working hours. It can cause burnout.

Talk with your leadership about it, as you mentioned if you worked in other kind of projects successfully you can tell your managers how you feel and that you are more productive in other kind of projects and remind them those where you made an impact and ask if they can move you from that project.

If you don't have the confidence with your managers to discuss the previous point start looking for another Job. But bear in mind it is something that can happen multiple times in your career and is good to try to face them first but if is bothering you so much the right path is to move on.

Good luck and take care.
